the new topic

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Even the best of us gets confused now and then. We think we hear one thing, when we are actually hearing another.

Back in the first couple of days in my junior college speech class I had an embarrassing moment. Fortunately no one knew about it but me.

For some reason there was a term that I had never heard before. I knew what it was. I knew the word written down. But I didn't realize how it was pronounced. I had never thought too hard about that.

So I sat there, getting more and more upset until someone *else* asked a question that revealed what I had mis-heard/understood.

I just couldn't figure out what was so controversial about "Youth in Asia"!!!

So in that spirit, the topic this week is "I could have sworn I heard them say. . ."


The deadline to link back here is Wednesday April 18th at 1pm EST (gmt -4) Have fun - and good luck.
