Suddenly discovering you've been doing it wrong

[The Frood]

A recent experience, and a blog post I was reading led me to this.

Have you ever suddenly discovered that you have been doing something wrong? Possibly for years? If so, what was it, how did you find out?

I recently learned that I tied my shoes wrong. thereby explaining why they frequently came untied for the past 7 years lol. My friend commented on how my shoes always came untied, and after watching me tie them exclaimed "You're doing it wrong" and proceeded to show me how to do it "right.

Edit; wow... can a mod fix the glaring spelling errors in the title? Thanks.

Pretty much every day, yup.

It was recently brought to my attention that I pronounce "button" wrong. I had no idea. I'm sure there's more things. If I think of them, I'll let you know.

That would be me last night swing dancing. I've just started picking it up recently. I learned the Lindy Hop, and thought it was simple enough, but it took me 3 songs to realize I was doing it wrong, and another song and a half to get the right steps into my muscle memory. At least I didn't step on any of the guys' feet...much.

Twas great fun though.
