Learning Is Fun: Ten Things I Assumed Everyone Knew, That Apparently Not Everyone Does
1. A quart is not a 40.
2. A peanut is not a nut.
3. When you eat dolphin, you're eating dolphin the fish, not dolphin the mammal.
4. That big, smart, friendly, squeaky thing with the flippers is a mammal.
5.. Brazilians speak Portuguese.
6.. "Its" is the possessive form of the personal pronoun "it;" "It's" is a contraction short for "it is."
7. Benjamin Franklin was never President of the United States of America.
8. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are the colors of the visible spectrum.
9. Speaking of colors, when you're waiting at a red light to turn right, and a vehicle with the green light or arrow is making a u-turn in front of you, the vehicle with the green light or arrow has the right of way, you fucking self-absorbed jackass.
10. Egypt is in Africa.

Huh. I did not know that about the peanut.
The rest of 'em, yeah, duh. That's why I make the big bucks.
Well, what the hell is a peanut then?! Everything else I knew.
My roommate speaks Portuguese, but a friend of ours asked if she spoke "Brazilian" and then tried to play it off.
