i used to believe that the name 'Gibraltar' was actually spelt 'Gilbratar' for years and until quite recently I was convinced that there was 2 separate place 'jibrolter' and 'gilbratar' I had seen one written down, misread it and made no connection to the actual word. Even now if i see it written down i have to read it twice to make sure.
