I have been lied to
BIG NEWS: "REPOIRE" IS NOT A WORD!!!!
Why wasn't I told? I was writing a letter of recommendation for one of my employees, and was astounded when "repoire" was picked up by spellcheck. I looked it up in the dictionary... not there. I (unsuccessfully) tried several different spellings, then finally googled it to see what was up.
It's "rapport." Rapport! Hilariously enough, after looking it up on google, I found some sort of word forum where someone was asking how to spell "repoire," and someone said, "I think you mean rapport," and I thought, "Well, I guess I could use that instead," still not realizing that rapport = repoire. I always thought they were two different words, and that "rapport" was pronounced just like it's spelled, which is even more embarrassing.
Good going! At least I know how to spell "dumb."
