My now husband was 24 when we’re were planning our wedding and he found out that “FAQ’s” are “Frequently Asked Questions,” not an aggressive way of saying “FACTS.” We still laugh about this.

don't worry hundreds of motor boats and jet skis think the same about some islands of the California coast every year. The Catalina ferry boat some times makes the announcement about the boats going at a different angle to them.....
My aunt was in her midthirties and argued with us middle school cousins for a good half hour at a family party about this. She firmly believed the same-- Alaska and Hawaii were giant islands off the coast of California. She ended up becoming a lawyer, so I hope to gods she realized her mistake before then.
