"When I was a little girl, I used to think it was 'human bean' , not human being.
What words do you get wrong?
Mine was public hair instead of pubic! "
Well you're not wrong. It really depends on how confident you are. |

Pyrex dish - I was convinced it was a dish that pirates ate from hence why it was called a pirate's dish. Chest of drawers was a chessa drawers until I was older also. I thought they were two different furniture items. |

When i was young i used 'for all intensive purposes' instead of 'intents and'. Unfortunately lots of other people haven't learned what i did yet.
And just as a side note, people saying 'i could care less' drives me insane. It means the exact opposite! |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Quite a few seem to mix up moot and mute and I hear pacific for specific quite a lot.
I thought trickle was a surprise tickle - the sort you don't like because they hurt and go on too long.

It won't be long before everyone over here says aluminum instead of aluminium - that's the power of television.
"
Sets my teeth on edge when I hear it. |

"When I was younger, I used to think the word Specific, should be spelt - Pacific
