Word of the Day -- Tome

I wanted to do this one simply because of how our fearless leader, Steve, continues to screw up the pronunciation of this word.  It makes sense after you see what it is:

Tome -- A tome is a large or scholarly book.

So we have a book entitled Tome of the Unclean.  It's important to know that Tome is pronounced TOHM.  However, for whatever reason (partly because it kind of fits too) Steve will say Tomb (pronounced ˈtüm), with long Os.  Tomb is an excavation in which a corpse is buried, so it would actually would fit and he knows the difference but for some reason it is just stuck in his head.  You know how it is, once you start with something, it's there.  Just like when I was a kid and would ask my brother is going to do something for me and he would say "Maybe no, maybe not".  And I always thought that meant that he would do it because he always would do it.  

Words are confusing...
