When I first read the word 'gubernational' and realised it wasn't a spelling mistake, I thought it must be a joke, a word used by people to mock 'teh gobernement' or something. Reading up on VP pick Tim Walz I'm reminded that it is a 'serious word', although it does seem to irk journalists (and has -- of course -- some Latin origins): https://www.npr.org/2019/11/15/779603330/where-does-the-term-gubernatorial-come-from

I mean, it is phonetically close to "goober" which was my reaction when I first heard the word 😂
