Excavator and escalator.
California and Connecticut

Also I didn't know that Florida and California were two different states, I didn't think it was a state with two names, or that one of the names was wrong, they just inhabited the same space in my brain
In my own language; Pregnancy (Graviditet) and Gravity (Gravitasjon)
It was a really long time ago so I can't remember much but while I would be doing like weird little reading tests I couldnt say island or isle correctly. I knew how to say it in my but the only thing I could read aloud was "is-land" and "is-ul" even when they would say the word out loud and tell me to repeat.
It was really frustrating lol.
My friend once said incest instead of incense 😭 this was recently, like last year too 😭 she isnt a native english speaker so i guess it’s understandable but still 💀
For me it was laundry and lottery
I thought "hello" and "yellow" were the same thing for like half a year when I was about 5 lol
I used to get Protestant and prostitute mixed up lmao
Mailman and mayonnaise
I used to think that letters' names were also their sounds.
I.E., B goes "bee"
I used to say cough backwards 😳 sounds like the f word loll
