Meg Whitman
Christine Whitman

and now the DNC has booked them back to back, when neither of them has any reason to speak at all. This will not help my problem

"this afternoon" rather than "always" but a shameful, if somewhat understandable, mix-up nonetheless

This one -- and I even lived in Jersey while Christine Whitman was governor. But when I hear Meg Whitman at first I always think they're talking about her.

Is Whitman a popular name in Jersey?

Bill Withers
Lou Rawls

Like I know the difference between the two, but somehow they sometimes gets mixed up in my head when trying to remember things they did.

The M4
The M40

I really hate that bit of the M25, I can never remember which is which

One of the best things my old man's family do (they're sarf London, to the core) is drop the 'M' or 'A' from any discussion of car journeys (B roads don't get a mention). 'Yeah, yeah, well, I had to come up the free, join the twenny five and straight onto the facking fore - always get mixed up between that and the facking forety'.
I could listen all day.

I also confuse the M40 and M4, related to this last month I dropped my wife off in Basingstoke, which I thought somehow was "on the way" from Cambridge to Stratford-upon-Avon, an overdue look at a map afterwards revealed the three places form an equilateral triangle.

Beware the Basingrad Triangle.

Which one did the "dreamboat" song though? which one was on panel shows in the mid 60s and chummy with the beatles? which one died tragically early from cancer? I can find out these things, I cannot retain them.

I can identify them in the context of their respective work but if they were part of a lineup I'm not sure I could tell the difference between Russell Hitchcock and Leo Sayer and John Panozzo and Ron Palillo and Richard Simmons and Slim Goodbody.

(Their '70s/'80s iterations, obvs.)

Oh man. This is one that's so ingrained in me, I didn't even realize I was mixing the two up.

Yeah they are both new to my area and I haven't been to either one.

I vaguely know that one of them has hilariously on-point mimic packaging for its store-brand knockoffs. Like Mr. Pepper soda and Ireo cookies and Kepler Gnome cookies - I just can never remember which one that is.
