You read the word perseverance, as
in, “steady persistence in a course of
action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties,
obstacles, or discouragement,” 1 but in your head you think of perseverance, as
in perseveration, “the repetition of a particular response, such as a word,
phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually
caused by brain injury or other organic disorder." 2
It really changes the meaning of a
sentence talking about pushing yourself through hard things.
