My duh moment is Omnipotent. For years I thought it was Omni..Potent, later I heard someone say it as Om Nip itent. To this day I have to over rule my mind and pronounce it correctly.

Another one is when I first learned to program a computer in the computer language BASIC. For some reason I saw the command GOTO as gato (like the Spanish word for cat). I never saw it as Go To.

It took me years to cotton on to the fact that The Squadron Sinister/Supreme were Marvel`s version of The Justice League...Doh!

I first encountered the Squadron Sinister in Marvel Super Action (Avengers reprint) and didn't make the connection. I first encountered the SS in Defenders, and picked up on it immediately. I think it took me longest to figure out who Nighthawk's double was.

That's doo too..I mean, due to...the 'froot' flavors being artificial.

I was flicking through movies on demand on my TV the other night and saw 'For Love of the Game' and though it was a typo, as the title in my head since I first heard of the film was 'For the love of the Game'... And then I realised I've just had it wrong for over 15 years.

Until the thread on Alan's passing, it never occurred to me that he and Paul were related.

Here's a new one!
I am going through some more comics I picked up, and there is an issue of SUPERMAN #13 (JB's run) in the mix. I stop to peruse it, just to take in the cool art and such before bagging it and going to the next item, when I noticed something that I had missed in the past. I bought a copy of the comic when it was first published and I have had several copies of it over the years through my shop, and never caught on to this "cameo":
There is this picture of a woman, along with her partner, in the comic:
I recall even back when that I thought there was a certain something to the way she was drawn that made me think she was based on someone real. Well, running through the comic this time, I saw that picture again and again I wondered if it was based on someone real. Then I reread the dialogue...
D'OH!
It's Emma Peel and John Steed! I noticed Steed had a bowler hat and umbrella in his hands in the next panel.
How did I not catch that in the past?

The Steed & Peel connection is the only reason I have that issue, Matt. I've known about it for years, perhaps since publication. I forget whether or not I first read about it in Amazing Heroes or some similar publication.
Price guides should jump up this. "Early JLA/Avengers Crossover!"
