I always wanted to be a perfect Droid.  But then the dark side took over, and I became a maladroit.  Luke is safe from me.

I like the pronunciation in parenthesis. If they didn't give that, I'd never use a new word for fear of saying it wrong.

Even though this word makes me think of C3PO every time I read it.

Ah yes, one of my favourite words.

When I was younger and all knees and elbows, my maladroitness often caused me embarrassment.

Would you say, Tova, that your pronunciation is maladroit?

Maybe on the Physiognomy word, but not so much on this one.

However, most of the people I actually socialize with, probably wouldn't know if I pronounced it wrong.  (They have such accents!)
