When young, I used to listen to the news which I thought was boring. I didn't understand some of it especially when the news-reader frequently told us that another army group had been attacked by Gorillas. I imagined actual gorillas (Apes) attacking and could not understand where they all came from. Quite scary.

I used to think that when people were talking about World War I and World War II that they were saying "war war one" and "war war two". It wasn't until I was in elementary school when I read it in a history book that I finally figured it out.
