i thought for hte longest time that poland was an island. yanno, island, england, ireland, greenland … it made sense to me! but i think my mom made me look it up when i was about 9, so i was set straight (on that anyway) fairly early on.

the embarassing one: (jodi will love this) … until just a few years ago i thought your belly button was a tunnel back inside your body. like it was kinda open. i just couldn’t figure out why people didn’t get infections there from stuff getting in it and then into your body.
yes, i am a dork. apparently very little about biology sticks in my head. lol

I spell so badly I cant even comment about it.

The opening line of this post CRACKED ME UP.

I think during most of my younger years I thought grapefruit is the same as grapes (which after all, is a fruit, right?). But then, of course, now I know they’re two different kinds of fruits. Hehe.

Okay…ready?
That there is no such thing as white picket fences and 2.5 kids and a knight inshining armor…it was all a fairy tale?
Yeah a bit jaded tonight…

Ha! My son’s favorite books are “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus”, “The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog”, and “Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late”. So I guess it’s a good thing they weren’t around when you were little!

And, until recently, I’ve always misspelled the word separate. I thought it was seperate.

There are many words I misspell and misread; ‘can’t think of any now though.

However, along similar lines, when I see something yellow, I think “white”. And when I see something white, I think “yellow”. It takes me about 1 second to correct myself, but it takes most people about .01s to recognize those colors.

It doesn’t get me into too much trouble, but it’s always weird when it happens.

… ooh another one.

I always spell seperate (separate) and defenite (definite) wrong. I know how to spell them. If you asked me how to spell them, I would spell them correctly. (There’s “a rat” in there.) But when I’m typing that’s how they come out and 95% of the time I need the spell checker to catch them.

I think woah is a pretty acceptable spelling. My spell check believes it should be Noah however.

Ok, so this is kind of a dumb one, but until my wife corrected me last week I had been spelling “whoa” as “woah” my entire life. It seriously blew my mind. I think I had even been reading that way in my head, because I never realized it.

i used to think that the word breakfast…was breakfrast. don’t ask me! i think that, it wasn’t until high school…or, yesterday, that i realized how wrong i was. so, don’t tell anyone! it would ruin my reputation…
