When I was small, my friend Melissa wrote her name in all capital letters, letting the center line of the A extend past the sides, making it look somewhat like a star missing the bottom two lines. She told me that only certain people could write their names like this, as it affected pronunciation, and I was devastated. For months I came home crying from daycare because I couldn't cross my A's like she had, and afterward, insisted being called 'Diamond' so that I could write my name with the amazing A's.

When I was between 3 and 4 and learing to write the letters of the alphabet and my name, I thought the letter E could be drawn with an infinite amount of horizontal lines.
Andrea
W was called wubble-doo
I
Thought the whole alphabet was: A B C D E F G apple-juice X Y and Z
just like wendy down there me and my sister used to come up with genders for each letter of the alphabet..and we still remember them all!!!!
Karen
For some reason I used to see the letters of the alphabet as having genders.
A, D, H, K, M, N, O, P, Q, S, U, V, W, and Y are all girls.
B, C, E, F, G, I, J, L, R, T, X and Z are all boys.
What am I saying, "used to"? I still see them this way....

I thought 'Disney' was spelt 'Gisney' because of on TV, the D was all curly and looked more like a backwards G. I was never able to read it as a 'd' and the closest thing I could figure out was a 'G'.
I eventually figured out the font was just weird and it wasn't Gisney.
when i was in kidergarten we were learning to spell numbers and letters. I thought i did real good on the test, because my mom got called into met with the teacher. they had to expalin to me why i couldnt spell six "sex" as i thought was the right way to spell it
i thought read, as in 'i read' was spelled READE because of the way we spell breathe, and breath. i never got that word straight till i was 13...all the kids used to make funny of me and told my i should READ more...
reade
In preschool, when someone corrected my spelling, I thought that they were just giving me another way to spell a word, and I could use either that way or my way. Some of these words were dolfin/dolphin, weel/wheel, and jun/june.

when i was little i overheard my older cousin say that he had to write a letter for english. Well being 4 at the time i thought that he was inventing a letter (as in a letter of the alphabet). i couldnt wait till i was in high school and got to invent my own letter. its name was going to be anzy and look like a spiral.

When I was little, I used to write a lot of my letters backwards. This caused confusion when I wrote a letter to my dad whilst he was working away that started 'dear baddy...'
Lou
I don't know how long I thought this, but I thought the part of the alphabet that goes "l m n o p" was really "elemenno p" , and i thought P was the most special letter because it had a word in front to describe it.

I used to (and still do) classify all the colors, abc's, and even numbers into either male or female. For example, a, s, and z are the only female abc's! Red, pink, orange, yellow, and white are girls, and any number that ends with 2, 3, 5, or 8 is a girl! Everything else is a male. Lol :)

when I was around 3 years old I was convinced that the alphabet went like this;
A,C,D,C, F and G. ache 'n jakey (or at least I sounded like that) L,and don't forget the P, Q or S, tee-e-vee, double-your X, then the Zex.
no matter what anyone told me It was always like this. My mother evan tryed puting a tape of someone singing the alphabet in my room when I went to sleep. I would I always sing along to it, (in my own way of corse!)
I swear this is completly true and my parents have it on tape. Strangly enough I knew the french alphabet perfectly (I am Canadian) but I didn't knew the proper english one until I was about 6.
Today I teach english to middle school children and this is always a good story to tell the children. :)
