Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

My internal voice still doesn't get it rightWhenever I read a book with a character in it named Sean, I read it as though it's pronounced "seen". I know it isn't, I've known for MANY YEARS it isn't, but I still can't convince my brain to pronounce it as "shorn".
Of course, the pronunciation is occasionally used deliberately, especially when Sean Bean is on the telly.
