Okay, so you're in the car with someone, you look over at the nearest billboard, and...  ... You misread it. But what a funny mistake it was! Or maybe, you're in the grocery store and you pick up a box of cereal because you swore you saw "Frantic Flakes" instead of "Frosted Flakes."Here is a place you can write down those word mishaps! Around 5 minutes ago, I could have sworn I saw a user name "Klingon" in the online user list... It was kingjon XD |

Oh dear, every time I see the word CPAP (as in, a breathing machine), I misread it... I won't bother to say what I read it as.

Calista... I misread it too. *headdesk*  Well, on audio calls, my accent changes so much, I'm unaware of it changing - my friend will tell me I've started speaking in an Irish accent or a southern accent, and I'll not have any recollection of it. Then last night, for some unearthly reason, I was talking to my daddy, and I apparently accidentally called him 'dude'. I have no idea why. XD |

I can't list them, because I hilariously misread everything. If I have any new ones though, I'll try to remember to share them. |

A shop in town is called 'Busy Needles,' but because of the fancy font, I thought it said 'Busy Noodles.' XD |

Baha! Like "Halfling"?  XD I suppose an "Offling" would be some kind of mutated offshoot of a breed...

Yeah... Either that, or a halfing with a British accent. 'What? I'm an 'alfing, old fellow.' Though of course, they don't actually call themselves halflings. * shrugs *

Yes, I have had that problem with "CPAP" too.  This is not a misread, but a mis-processed. The day before my family left to visit my grandparents in Arizona, we had some friends over. When they bade us good-by, the mom said "Say hi to all the hot people there!" My brain would have phrased a description of people sweltering in heat differently, and for some reason, I thought she meant "attractive". It sounded really weird to me until after they left, when I got what she was really saying.

My dad and I were driving through a city - don't remember where. There was a tall building, at at the top it said 'Turkey Law'. BOTH of us misread it, twice. It actually said 'Turley' Law'.... |

I love the noisy curtsy. An offling really is someone who willingly secludes themselves from all internet access for an extended period of time.  I haven't done a funny misread in a long time.  Life is boring, but reading all these makes it better.

Considering it was me talking, under normal circumstances that wouldn't have been a misread. Crunchie, CPAP gets me every time.

This isn't really a misread, but rather a mispronunciation. I saw the word "Chanel" and pronounced it "Channel" as in, "Let me change the Channel on my TV!"
