R is for READ

Sometimes the mind goes where it will go.

I look at the word READ, and I don't know how to pronounce it.

If it's a verb in the present tense, it's pronounced like REED:

The common reed:

Reed Richards of the comic book group, the Fantastic Four

Nikki Reed, who was in those Twilight movies, as you may know (I didn't).

One would conjugate the verb:
I read. You read. He/she/it reads. We read. You read. They read.


If it's a verb in the past tense, it's pronounced like the color (or colour) RED:

One would conjugate the verb:
I read. You read. He/she/it read. We read. You read. They read.

Regardless of the tense, one should READ all the fine entries on ABC Wednesday this week. I'm sure you will have READ them by this time next week. After all, reading is FUNdamental.
