We all do things every once in a while that make us feel pretty freaking stupid. I put together a video to help decrease the number of times we do that in our lives.

I remember vividly in 8th grade English, we were reading the Hound of the Baskervilles, and I was reading aloud to the class and said "Colonial" instead of "Colonel". Sometime in the next sentence I had realized what I'd done, and, while continuing to read, looked up and notice that no one had even noticed, not even the teacher. And that is how I taught an 8th grade English class about the British Colony of Devon.

I never remember the definitions for affect and effect, so I'm just going to get them tattooed upon myself.

When I was in 1st grade, I read What to Expect When You're Expecting because it was around. The best part of this was when I announced to my class, "Boys have a pen-is" with the first syllable pronounced as the writing implement.

Every day I hear customers call ramen "roman". I just don't understand how they got that. Also, when I was taking a Women's Studies course and started dating someone in the class, I would always call patriarchal as "pay-tree-article". No one corrected me for years, because they thought I was making a joke.

I used to say 'psuedo' like suede-oh.

For nearly 30 years I thought it was paddle lock not pad lock.

A moment that my wife will never let me live down.

For years I pronounced 'stingy' as "steeng-ee" instead of "stin-jee".
