When I was little we used to take trips to Cape Cod. I was just learning how to read at the time, and I would see the word and not realize that the "e" was silent, so to me, it was "Cape-a Cod." The worst part was that it took my parents about 2 years to notice that I wasn't saying the name right. When they corrected me, I was in shock! It altered my sense of reality.
