LOL, I'm sure I've misinterpreted lots, but just can't think of any off hand right now.  I'm glad you found something in their line you like.😃🌺

Re: Misreading Something

[ Edited ]

@beach-mom, I've pretty much always shied away from anything that's super popular.

 

To that point, years ago, one day after leaving the employee cafe, I snapped at no one in particular "I'm so sick of hearing about DOWNTOWN Abbey!"

A young coworker laughed & said "Not downtown! It's Downton!"

 

I felt like an idiot.

Oh yes--more times than I care to admit to. Am trying to be better at reading the small print on everything now.

Yes, it happens more now that I'm older and my vision isn't 20/20.  I realize how often I scan-read, so I've had double-takes when what I read didn't make sense, like reading "panty" for "pantry."

My mistakes are often with pronunciation. Right before a trip to New Orleans, I told DH we had to try “beg- NETS” and looked up where to get them. Fortunately the website showed the correct pronunciation before I went and ordered them! 😆

One other was when I stopped eating meat and wanted to try “FAL -a - fel. I was given the correct pronunciation by my coworker who was laughing hysterically. 😆😆😆
