ok so that post office scam thread was hilarious, and i think it deserves its own thread.

until like 4th grade, i thought it was bading suit, not bathing suit.

and until like 2 years ago, i thought mild meant medium

anyone else got their stories?

 
i always thought the capital 'd' in the disneyland logo was just some elaborate symbol or something and never an actual 'd'
 
when I was little I thought magenta was pronounced "mag-net-a"

also, paradigm and words like that.

my brother used to pronounce skeleton "stelekon" haha
 
graffiti was raffiti unitl i was like 10, drowning was drownding until i was about 13. My friend thought when he was little that tornadoes were giant tomatoes that rolled around and crushed everything
 
My old boss use to think Amortization (an accounting term if you don't know) was pronounced Am-IT-tor-tization it was embarrassing
 
I agree with lots of those like Old Timers and Girl Cheese, only recently did I know that Febuary was actually February
 
when i was little i always thought that it was some sort of "G" but i never understood what teh "g" was for since it was disneyland and there was no g in the name
 
AY! I'm from PA and not all of us do that..it annoys me so much if it's that ridiculous Philly accent haha. That and beggal instead of bay-gul..and melk instead of milk... but anyway..
 
when was younger i used to say cimanon instead of cinnamon; ohh and my friend always thought it was beef nips over noodles instead of beef "tips" over noodles
 
same. I actually said it in class once and my teacher was like I dunno what ballyball is and I kept insisting that it was spelled that way

 
when i was 9 or something i thought a blow job was when the girl blew air on your penis, so one day i stood in front of a fan but nothing cool happened except a pleasant breeze
 
melk is really annoying along with people who pronounce highschool like high-school i dunno why maybe i just say it weird
 
one of my friends things taht 'gybing' and sail boat is "jiving" like dancing.

he also thinks curbs on a road are curves. hes 18
 
when people would talk about euthanasia, i always thought they were talking about "youth in asia"
 
my sisters husband who is in his 30's was eating dinner with my family on night and somehow we got on the topic of ocean glass. he said "i thought ocean glass was manufactured" and i thought he was just making a joke and started laughing at him, but it turns out he was serious and has thought that ocean glass was made in a factory all his life. he spent the next 10 minutes trying to make sense of his existence.
 
I'm pretty sure it's when lightening strikes a beach and the sand turns to glass..or am I completely wrong?
 
Until my freshman year of high school, i thought rabbits laid eggs. I wrote an essay on it for biology, and was sadly mistaken
 
when i found out that charlie sheen was emilio esteves' brother i was like WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK ARE U SERIALLLLLLLLL?
 
this is bad and thank god i was corrected on the elementary school playground... but i thought condoms were like those little dot band-aids. oops.
 
its mostly from beer bottles and other glass that has made its way into the ocean and been sanded down by the sand.

and for the thread my friends uncle thinks my name is Nit because my friend has a speech impediment. its really Nick.
 
i learned that this sunday. i was shocked, and felt really dumb.

i just always thought my brother was saying it wrong, cause he would pronounce shit like breakfeast as "freakfixed"
