Misreading a word

DH thought it would be interesting to take me to Castle Gird. This was apparently just outside Chalfont St Peter, and having lived nearby I was quite interested. Nope! He took me to a cattle grid!

I know a couple of people who make the same mistake ViceVersa I think trio seems more like it should begin the word. I find myself misreading words more often as I get older and I read too quickly.

I am dyslexic and when I was a child I had a book called "A Stick Doll's Diary" I always read as "A Sick Doll's Dairy."

As part of a job I had to write a letter about a man who had been in gaol for three years, I wrote that he had been in goal for three years.

My poor friend Louise Smith once received a postcard from me addressed to Louse Smith.

Just re-read my post - intended to write "shopfitters" - just shows one can mistype as well as mis-read!

My dear departed dad was a well-read, intelligent man, but he always read trilogy as tri-o-logy! No matter how many times we gently corrected him, he always did it.

I think OP meant shoplifters instead of shopfitters 😂

My friends boyfriend was an amazing gardener.
Someone complimented him on a plant, and he told them it was a chlamydia.

When Hubby was young, and growing up in the UK, he learned at school about a king named Cnut. The name was not spoken at school, and Hubby is dyslexic, we suspect. He promptly came home and told his mother they learned about King (rhymes with punt). My MIL was all, "You WHAT???"

I’m confused “….shoplifters instead of shoplifters” I read this twice, in case I was missing something or misreading!

Other than that, yes, I read too quickly sometimes and can misread things.

There was a thread the other day about chips on cat flaps which I read as chips on flat caps!
