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 was always confused with the disney logo. and when i was like three i thought grass was called glass, remember getting in a huge fight with my baby sitter about it looking out the window pointing at the ground helling"what? dont you see it the green glass every wheres" She wouldent let me outside until my parents came home. I also thought Prince Edward Island was PTI not PEI coused some confusion in grade two when we learned the provences.

I agree, when you are sitting you can't nearly get as good as a swipe going, and folding FTW none of this bunching up business unless its in a public bathroom and the toilet paper is really thin then you have to just bunch a whole crap load to ensure proper "poke through" protection and good coverage lmao.
ANyways back to the topic.  When I was little I used to think that back in the day everything was actually black and white due to the movies I would see.

in case someone hasn't  said it "for all intensive purposes" rather than "for all intents and purposes"

when i was little. i think in grade 2 or something. my teacher would listen to the song that"s amore by dean martin. and in the song it goes "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie thats amore". first of all. that doesnt make sense anyways. and second up till this day if the song ever comes to my mind i sing it when the moon hits the sky like a pig piece of pie, eat some more eh. yeah that bothers me a alot

Im 18 and I learned in physics a few days ago that red, blue, and green are the actual primary colors, not red, blue, and yellow.  Pretty suprising.

I don't know if you're joking, or if its just different in optics, but Red Blue and Yellow are the only colours that don't come from a mixture of other coloures, so they are the primary colours. Green is a mixture of 2 colours (blue and yellow).

I never talked until I was 5. I guess I just sort of grunted. I didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

if someone said something like "I'd prefer the former to the latter." I thought latter was ladder until a few years ago. I even used it in sentences luckily no one noticed or called me out on it.

Until this past semester (end of Junior year), I thought the phrase "for all intents and purposes" was actually "for all intensive purposes". I thought this would be a common mistake, but I'm the only person I've talked to that thought what I did.

Personally, I still maintain that my version at least rolls off the tongue much easier.

i used to think that a power play in hockey was when the puck was shot really hard and broke through the net, not where a player was sent into penalty box

I thought those road signs that say "Survey Crew" said "Swervy Crew" until about last year. I told my mom... she was not impressed.

My biggest shame:
Until I was 21 and a half I thought that lions were female tigers. How that's possible I have no idea. I make Honors or Deans List every semester and am a scholar in one of my majors, yet I never knew that lions and tigers are different. Fuck my life. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

No way... really?

I always though it was "for all intensive purposes".  Whats funny is that I am a junior in my last semester too.

When i was little my mom told me that the easter bunny died, and that the easter horse took over. So i got crap from everybody at school every year until i found out that neither of them were real. Thats one of many reasons why i am how i am today haha.
