For many years of my young life, I thought "albeit" was pronounced "all-bay" as if it were French. Who the fuck knows why.
In some places, it's actually pronounced 'al-bait'. [shrugs]

When I was a little kid, I saw a Time Life photospread in which white horses had been set up to look like unicorns, like the ones out of Legend. As a result, I was convinced that unicorns are real. I remarked upon it in my third grade class and got into a huge argument with my teacher about whether or not they were mythical.

@Cupcake Don't worry, lass. Scotland thinks they are. Go there, you'll be among kin.

@Cupcake Hey, there was that goat unicorn thing from National Geographic, too! And, come on, it's National Geographic!
(I, too, may have encountered this experience... <shifty-eyes> ...nuns apparently really dislike unicorns.)

Cache. It's not kash-ay or kash-ee. It's just kash. That one bugs me and I should probably say this in random bitching or something, but whatever.
All the toys, action figures, and other stuff that is considered memorabilia in the long-term? I should have kept in nice and secure in packaging. At minimum, buy two for your kid(s). A friend of mine supported himself, without a job for about 15 months, selling nothing more than comic books, action figures and the little bit he had in savings. His mortgage, car payment, and all the rest were kept current while he was jobless and it was all because of his collections.

@Faceless But at the same time, nearly everything we "collected" as children is worthless. That's another thing one should learn early.

@Faceless People confuse cache and cachet a lot. Especially since the 't' is not pronounced at the end of a lot of words we've stolen from French (ballet, etc.).

We are forced to unlearn too much that we knew as children.

Ooh, it was an excerpt from Robert Vavra's Unicorns I Have Known and well, a kid in third grade would totally believe this was real, right?
-
@Tinuviel Unicorns are real.

@Coin is a unicorn?!

I am that, too. I am many things.

If Coin is an anything-corn, can he be a Dildocorn?
...cause that suits the threesome plans nicely.

Teledildonics, wave of the future.
(Thing to have been learned sooner than it was: that teledildonics is really, actually, truly a word I did not make up. And there's a whole field of research. Reality is highly amusing like that.)
