First off, My name is Brian, and when my mom would write my name, I always thought the "a" was a captial "Q". So for my first few years of spelling, I would write BRIQN. And everybody though it was just a lower-case "a".
And at the time, my dad worked at a local Imo's, so my picture of my name is still hanging on the wall, for all to see.
A childhood belief about spelling
others believed things like this

- i uase to write my #s like 3d 3d1 3d2 5d4 etc!— anm
- I used to believe that I would one day have a dog, and I would teach him to speak, read, and even write!— Gretchen
- I thought if someone worked full time it meant they worked 24/7 and never did anything else!— andalite
- I used to believe when adults grew up only 4' 9" or lower are still classified as kids.— Jorge
- My Dad use to tell me if I pouted and stuck my lower lip out, a bird would come and poop on my lip.— Tom
