Misreading a word

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

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.

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???"

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

I think OP meant shoplifters instead of shopfitters 😂

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.

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

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.
