For some reason I learned that the big gray animal in Africa was a rhinonceros (note the extra n) not a rhinoceros, which is fact the correct spelling and pronounciation. Not only did I pronounce it with the extra "N" but I was corrected at age 14 by my little sister, and even now, at age 16 I can't break the habit!
