Has anybody had anything that they realised or learnt a few years late?
i.e i couldn't spell blue until i was 15, i never thought it looked right
I only realised that W is double-U a few months back
i only found out that "time of the month" meant periods 2 weeks ago, until then i thought that everybody was in a mood at some point in the month

That joke about the aganostic, insomniac, and dyslexic staying up all night wondering if there's a Dog.
Took me three years to figure that out. Also never knew what c*nt meant until 6 months back. Or what orgasm meant until last year. Hmmm....

I still can't spell restaurant without trying really hard, and I even took French for two years. xP
I also can't tie my shoes the correct way... >>
And you know how when you're driving, and there's signs on the road?
It'll be spelled out:
XING
SCHOOL
^Like that? And you're supposed to read it 'school crossing', because you drive into 'school' first, and 'xing' second? I still read it as 'xing school'. >>

I have trouble spelling San Francisco on the first try. I'm just really slow about stuff in general, like, my teacher was explaining that rock n roll means sex and I didn't get it for about 15 minutes...

I couldn't read analogue time until I was nearly ten. Is that old? 
Also, I used to not understand why there were poor people - I thought you could never run out of money because, when you bought something, you always got change XD Although I'm fairly sure I was quite young when I thought that. At least I hope I was...

I can't count money- it's pretty sad.
I just recently noticed that Eminem's stage name is his initials (Marshall Mathers, M&M) I knew his real name I just never connected the two.
Until third grade I thought the word essay was spelled S.A. and wrote it on a few papers until my teacher corrected me.
I have no idea what to say here.

I always just make stupid slow mistakes in English, or at home. And, it's worse at school. I didn't realize that in the west coast where you go to get a drink at school was called a "water fountain" so, I asked if I could go to the "bubbler" and I got stared/laughed at. This was this year .__.
Plus, in my house I asked if Sadam and Hitler were the same person, apparently not.
It's just simple mistakes

I don't know my 8 multiplication tables
someone told me guinea pigs were named for the sound they make, and I said, "what? No, they don't make a noise that sounds like guinea!"
Another friend said her Spanish teacher read her texts, and I asked her how her SPANISH teacher knew ENGLISH.
I still don't know what Yield signs mean. And for a long time I thought Xing signs were for Jesus, because isn't X like synonymous with him? Like Xmas, Christmas? Jesus?
Oh and I thought Jesus was represented by bread and butter not bread and wine XD My friends still make fun of me for it
You're stubborn, hard headed, sheltered, impatient, angry, and altogether you irritate and frustrate me more than anyone else on the planet. I love you.

P.S. I didnt know pickles were pickled cucumbers, I thought they grew on their own, AS PICKLES. I learned this on Thanksgiving two years ago, and to this day EVERY thanksgiving my cousins bring it up
and I thought the saying 'no offense' as in don't take offense, was Noah Fence as in Noah from the Bible, on a fence. I didn't know why people said it, I just knew it was when you didnt want to hurt feelings, like maybe cuz Noah was a good guy or something

I used to think when people said "I kid you not" they were saying "Uh could you not?" and I would always wonder what the person did to make them say that. I know, very stupid
