i'm mildly dyslexic and always read "applause" as "applesauce". usually the context is a dead giveaway that i have to read that passage again.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold. It's a breakfast thing.

I was eating Eggs Benedict one day and said to my husband, "Benedict Arnold flew the kite, right?" To this day Eggs Benedict is now Eggs Ben Franklin.

Philadelphia & Pennsylvania - I always forget which is the city and which is the state.

Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind.

Red/Brown, and Blue/Purple - cos I'm colourblind...

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold.

A pedant writes: Of course you are aware that Eggs Benedict are not named after Benedict Arnold but various other people?

Curiously my friend confuses Eggs Benedict with Eggs Florentine. Which really should be easy to tall apart as one is delicious and the other has spinach.

Yes, I can affirm what you have acutely and astutely asserted.

Mick Ronson and Mark Ronson. For months I had no idea why Mick Ronson had returned as a hip new producer.

Merdeyeux, Thursday, 15 November 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

wait, Mick Ronson's dead? That would have been an even more impressive return than I thought it was.
