Happy Halloween. Don't be mean to little kids tonight, and, for Pete's sake, don't give out candy corn. If candle wax could be eaten, that's what I imagine it would taste like.
Anyway, I present a rather scary pair of words for you today.
A "prophecy" is a thing, a noun. It is what is foretold or predicted. It's pronounced "prophe-see."
"Prophesy" is an action, a verb. It is the act of foretelling the future and pronounced "prophe-sigh."
There you go. All nice and neat. Remember what I told you about the candy corn. Some people tell me they actually like it. I know they're lying.
