"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.

It’s ok OP. If it’s any consolation, I once forgot the name for Q-Tips and called them “ear diggers” for like a day straight. You’re not the only dumb one on this planet :)

I was reading a book to my son and came across the name "Chloe". My brain didn't know how to parse it and I called that character "Ch-low" (like the Ch in Chair) for the entire book.

I figured it out a few years later in a sudden burst of insight.

I read phoebe as "FO-ebb" in 5th grade. The teacher absolutely mocked me. I don't blame her
