Obvious Things You Missed: Now more general.

[Inconspicularity]

I don't see why everybody is on my ass about not pronouncing "meme" as "meem"!

I blame the G.I.F.T.

[Blaperile]

Well, I guess it counts that I often mispronounce Pokémon names until I've heard them in the anime.

I really thought, for example, that Audino was said like Ow-thee-no and not Oh-deh-no

I thought it was Ow-dee-no.

I don't read don't. I skip over it the first time I read it, leading to some very bad situations.

[JadeWolf27]

I missed the first few days of December because I thought it was still November. :T

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

Pixie Sticks are supposed to contain Pixie Dust.

I missed an automatic team balance thing on TF2 and thought I was still on the blu team.
I must of looked really stupid....

You also missed that the saying is "must have" not "must of".

[Archaeopteryx]

For a while I was convinced the word "vicinity" was "vincity". That's the only linguistic fail of mine I remember, unless you count being convinced that my name started with a T when I was about three years old. (None of my names have a T.)

I used to think it was "vinicity"

What's your name?

You think I don't know that, what do ya take me for?! You see improper grammar often adds more feeling to a sentence, it adds character unlike borin' proper grammar.

And on the subject of obvious things I once thought my birthday was on the 23rd not the 28th and went around all like "It's mah birthday respect me!" until a friend pointed out that that day wasn't my birthday, I was heartbroken...

[Daniel990]

I used to think the word distasteful was actually disasteful and meant the same thing as "disastrous".

[Coasterman29]

I pronounce things wrong all the time.

EDIT: Oh, and while watching season 2 episode 1 of MLP: FiM (Read: the new MLP: FiM thread) I found out Discord is an actual word.

[Melakias]

I found there's porn of everything, in not a really good way

Oh, snap!

I found there's porn of everything, in not a really good way

I actually found the exception of the rule that proves the rule.


There's no porn of porn itself.


It's obvious, but somehow /b/ missed it.

[ArmsAreLoud]

...I only just now realized that's a tongue. For some reason I always thought it was Golbat's claws. o.O

[Tyrannic]

Porn using an origami medium in which the pieces are folded out of porn magazines.

I believe this is relevant.

[Fyntsuri]

Well.... a few months ago I figured out that pancakes were called pancakes because they were cakes made in a pan.
Also about a month ago I realised that 'receive' was not spelt 'recieve'. Oops.

I have probably done something like this many more times than specified.

[Wiwaxia]

How, exactly, did you miss this in the first place?

[kraine]

It took me way too many years to realize that the 3 legendary bird pokemon were Uno, Dos, and Tres.

way too long.

But then again sometimes I just don't realize these things when I grow up with them.

ALSO, realizing that saying "whole nother" is not acceptable. It just rolled off the tongue so well. ;_;

[kholhaus]

I used to say Flutterby instead of Butterfly. (I was really little.)

And I thought the phrase 'gaining on us' was 'skating on us'.

That must have been painful.

[vocalizedRainbow]

For years, I read infatuated as infactuated for some reason. Also, when I was small, I pronounced chaos as "chah-ohs". I guess that's more typical? It certainly looks to be pronounced that way, even if it isn't.

Also something that sort of counts is how much you see "7" in the Harry Potter series. Didn't even notice until quite recently.
