Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

i'm mildly dyslexic and always read "applause" as "applesauce". usually the context is a dead giveaway that i have to read that passage again.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold. It's a breakfast thing.

I was eating Eggs Benedict one day and said to my husband, "Benedict Arnold flew the kite, right?" To this day Eggs Benedict is now Eggs Ben Franklin.

Philadelphia & Pennsylvania - I always forget which is the city and which is the state.

Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind.

Red/Brown, and Blue/Purple - cos I'm colourblind...

Daryl Hannah and Daryl Somers: http://www.femenino.info/wp-content/uploads/daryl-hannah.jpg http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/11/25/wbsomers_narrowweb__200x264.jpg

hint: when daryl hannah sings she doesn't go "hey!" at the end of every second line

Too many Matthews.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold.

A pedant writes: Of course you are aware that Eggs Benedict are not named after Benedict Arnold but various other people?

Curiously my friend confuses Eggs Benedict with Eggs Florentine. Which really should be easy to tall apart as one is delicious and the other has spinach.

Bob Mosley/Bob Moses

You mean the belligerent blonde bellowing bassist Bob Mosley from Moby Grape??!?

Man confuses wife with bicycle

Yes, I can affirm what you have acutely and astutely asserted.

"Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind."

I have no idea either. They couldn't be more different.

David Keith/Keith David OTM, and I raise you:

GOD, DAVID KEITH EVNE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL C. HALL, AND ALSO KEITH DAVID IS A BALD BLACK GOATEED MAN LIKE MATT ST PATRICK! SIX FEET UNDER MUST HAVE DONE THIS ON PURPOSE TO RUIN MY LIFE.

Mick Ronson and Mark Ronson. For months I had no idea why Mick Ronson had returned as a hip new producer.

Sinclair Lewis/Upton Sinclair
