To want to know something you wrongly believed was true all your life ?

Posting to try and take our minds off bad things for a moment
I'm in my fifties someone on here posted about a "Party wall" a few weeks ago, I laughed because I thought they were mistaken, I have always thought the word for a wall between two properties was "Parting wall"
How did I not know ??
Also over the years when I've watched, usually men taking off the tops of beer bottles with their hands on US programmes.
I may or most definitely may have tried to do this myself not realising they have twisty tops in the US.
You ?

For years I thought there was Magaluf and Malaguff. I thought they were two different places and it was quite embarrassing when it was pointed out I was wrong 😂

Google is not the only search engine, therefore I do not prescribe its use.

Nor do I say that the way I pronounce brusque is the only way it should be pronounced, since in England there are many different regional variations in the pronunciation of a large number of words; I gave two examples in my post, and you quoted them.

I believed that:

• light on in the car while someone was driving was illegal
• if you out the microwave on with nothing in it, you would die
• that if you had the tv on when there was a storm you would get electrocuted

I was in my 20s when I learnt the truth

You mean eszett, ß.
