When reading multiple lines of text I sometimes run them together, I was just on the "who's online" screen & I ran Smidge & Supamodel together, thought we had a member called Superminge.

Your compulsive stalking habit aside I always get a giggle out of CLINT EASTWOOD movies.

do the words, glasses or eye check ring any bells. Although a Superminge could be quite interesting. Do you think it mite have a cape or logo or something?

My brother and I have this kind of weird, abstract reading thing all the time. Last night we went to a shopping centre to get snacks (closed due to Good Friday - FUCK) and for a second I thought the OfficeWorks sign said "OfficeWounds." Don't ask me where the extra letters came from.

i dont normally misread but I definately make up my own words to song lyrics - like a champagne supernoma in the sky, and they frequently change the words on the songs that i'm singing along too as well, i hate that, suddenly im singing the wrong verse

Yuck, work on your comma use the first sentence doesn't even make any sense with your punctuation. Oh and it needs a capital and a question mark. kthnxbai

Oh dear I do apologise. I did not know that correct punctuation is a pre-requisite to posting a reply or comment (maybe there was a blurb but hey I've only just learnt how to count to 3, we have'nt done grammer yet, and anyway my mummy types this for me). But I will try harder in future Daddy, I will

You forgot the full stop at the end there, the apostrophe for "haven't" was in the wrong place and your mummy shouldn't be typing it for you, she should be here with daddy making him feel all better about having a daughter with such bad english skills:silly:

I do it when I'm reading books - I'll read someone's name incorrectly and the name I made up will end up being what I call them for the rest of the book. I do the same things with places.

Whenever I see the Dodo ads, I read "Cap Plans" as "Crap Plans".

It makes me giggle.

Whenever I see a gray wolf in warcraft I without fail think it says gay wolf.

My typography teacher told a tale of bad kerning - when looking at posters on the uni bulletin board he was quite taken aback to read one that said in caps "MASSAGE THE RAPIST". Which, if properly kerned would probably have looked more like "MASSAGE THERAPIST". So there you go, kids. Make sure to always properly kern or who knows what kind of trouble you could find yourself in.

I'm glad the whole Daddy thing stopped. It wasn't just weird, it was WRONG.

There is a member here called Dark Darling and I keep reading her name as Dick Darling. Then in my head it just didn't sound right so I changed it to Darling Dick.

We have a shop here called the (town name) Printing and Secritariat, for some reason in my mind it always sounds like secrete a rat
