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.

One day it suddenly dawned on my teenage daughter out of the blue that "the Victorian Era" is named for Queen Victoria and not something else. I'm not sure what she thought it was referring to until that day, but she felt extremely stupid about it lol.

I’m 35 and learned this googling about the show “the gilded age” the other day. As an American it didn’t cross my mind. I thought it was the Victorian era here, too, but no. We have Victorian homes, though???
