As a child, I once had a conversation with a friend of mine who told me that he and his family were moving to LA. I nodded and pretended to know what he was talking about. It wasn't until years later that I came to realize that LA and Los Angeles were the same thing. I used to think LA was spelled Ellay, a different city and not an acronym for Los Angeles.
