Her-mee-own was a super common mistake. I'm pretty sure the the scene in book 4 where Hermione is teaching Krum how to pronounce her name only existed as a way to teach the readers how to say it properly.

It wasn’t “jail”
It was a harem
They weren’t in cells. They were basically pilagshim- always on call if achashveirosh wanted to sleep with them
Fascinatingly, Esther was able to “sleep” with achashveirosh in 2 possible ways
1- a malach came and took her place
2- קרקע עולם היתה: she made herself into the dirt of the ground. As in she did not take one step to go to the king. She didn’t beautify herself, and she had to be physically dragged there (we see this from the trop over the words in the megilla- בהגיע תור אסתר בת אביחיל. The trop is מונח, מונח,מונח, מונח)
In this way, it was as if she didn’t actually sleep with him, and she was able to go to the mikva every month and return to mordechai
When she made the decision to go to achashveirosh later on in the story, it was a huge huge decision, because this time she was going on her own accord. She would never again be able to go back to mordechai.
She saved the entire Jewish people, but essentially destroyed her life in the process

All stops signs mean to stop all the way. Complete stop at a stop sign.

Also Frum men who speak Spanish with name Yossi spell their name Jose and pronounce it “chosee” (with a ches sound).

I cannot find any source that says it's pronounced cudgle rather than ca-jole. Everywhere I checked shows it is pronounced ca-jole, emphasis on the second syllable.

Why are we assuming there were thousands s of Jewish girls?
This went on for several years (anyone remember how many?) and with one a night it would be in the thousands
But I would assume that the overwhelming majority were NOT Jewish

After they were with him, they were then considered concubines.
They were not locked up, as in an actual jail. But yes, they had to stay in the harem where they housed concubines and could never be with another man.
The king could call on them as he desired.
Always made me think…so who did the men of that time frame end up with? Since most girls went/where taken to the king…
But I digress (pronounced dye-gress not dih-griss)…

Did no one learn the month song like this?
30 days had September
April June and November
All the rest have 31
Except for February
Nothing else after that.
Also in the Megillah
וְהָמָן֙ נֹפֵ֗ל עַל־הַמִּטָּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶסְתֵּ֣ר עָלֶ֔יהָ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ הֲ֠גַ֠ם לִכְבּ֧וֹשׁ
I never understood why achashverosh was so mad that haman was begging for his life until someone pointed out to me what he thought haman was doing with Esther on her bed.
