    You’re totally right, lol

    I was spelling from memory and I always pronounced it as “yerk” in my head because it rhymed with “jerk”.

    I’m going to leave my mistake, I’m not ashamed to be imperfect.

      You spelled it wrong but pronounced it right FWIW. I watched the show and read more than a dozen of the books growing up.
