I used to pronounce Aristotelian like ArisTOTelian instead of AristoTELian when arguing philosophy in college.

I was in my 20s, young, intellectual and sometimes pretentious. I was mortified.
I'm a developer with (way too) many years of experience, originally from the UK but now in NYC having co-founded a real-estate startup and an AI driven content engine platform.
