problematic words Hi everyone,   I carry around in my head a set of 'fluency-problematic' words, i.e. words that I would expect to have trouble pronouncing fluently.  My own list of the worst offenders is:     center, congratulate,  constitution,    constitutional, get, go, going, physics, physicist, security, situation, system, and such. Does anyone else have this experience of "known problem" words?
