I imagine (hope desparatel( that I'm not the only one who does this, although it may just be a function of fatigue and visual impairment, but did you ever look at a thread name and think it was something else entirely?? My current favorites are Glas am fondhair which I first saw as Gas en flambe. and the Yumhar Hebridean thread which I always glimps as having something to do with Yehudi Menuhin. Anyone else, or is it just me?? I think I'll retire to the Pub now.

Yea, I thought of Yehudi, too! The Glass am fond of hair thing, sorry no offense meant, made me think of Philip Glass whose music I cannot stand. Maybe it all has to do with other genres of music??

Susan, this is something I do frequently. I think (for me) it is a brain glitch. Slightly dislexic or some such thing. I switch numbers as well, and have to be careful with balancing my checkbook.

The mind wants to fill in, and if you're tired it can be worse. One of my favorites that has always turned my head is a sign advertising "Martial Arts". I read it as Marital Arts and have to look twice, wondering what the heck a Marital arts place has to offer. I've done that more than once!

A marital arts place probably sells martial aids, hmmmm?
