Add: imbachure

Saw that one on a trumpet NG. Before people start in on the dumb brassholes:
I think the beginning trumpet player was a bit imbachure himself, maybe about
a 5th grader, so don't be too rough on the kid.... Uh-oh, did I just
mispronounce his misspelling? :-)

When I was about his age, a teacher wrote in the margins of one of my essays,
"Congratulations. You have just enriched the English language by one word."
Can't remember my word, though.
