Is this the most misunderstood concept in the whole country? Every time there’s a thread about cyclists or electric cars someone will trot out some road tax rant, when it’s not existed for 85 years and roads are paid for out of general taxation and council tax …
Anyway this thread isn’t really about that per se, but what other everyday thing is massively and regularly misunderstood? |

So many things. A huge amount of things. Unfortunately lots of people tend fail to then admit they miss understand, dig their heels in, and double down on their view of something (which is wrong) is either still correct, or can be flexible. |

"How big an inch is"
My boxing coach used to have a great joke. When teaching beginners movement he would say
"you want to step forward 6 inches at a time to keep your balance"
"and thats a womans 6 inches! not a mans!" |

Ah, but you now understand (I think). That's one more person that understands.
Misunderstandings continue to grow strong because some people just don't accept it as such, and fail to learn and adapt to the new information. |

... and the modern bullshit posturing of saying that something is “my” truth, when it is clearly bollocks.
There is truth and accuracy, and then there is bollocks. Alternative facts and “my truth” are filed under bollocks |
