I didn't know that. I'VE HAD A REVELATION! Seriously though, why do the buttons need to be on different sides?

Anyways, I pronounced Arkansas "arr-CAN-zas" for a very long time. Seriously, it's spelled like Kansas but with an Ar in front of it, so why "ARR-can-saw"? I was so embarrassed when someone corrected me on that. I also didn't know until a couple years ago that most people have their Christmas family gatherings on Christmas Day rather than Christmas Eve. I'd always gone to my grandparents' on Christmas Eve, so I had never given it a second thought.

Since I'm talking about the holidays now, I'll mention that I had a really funny impression of what Boxing Day was for a while. I knew that people in Britain celebrated it, so when I was little I figured that it was a day where there was a big boxing match in Britain and everyone watched. That belief stuck with me well into my teenage years for some reason. I figured out later that it probably didn't involve boxing, but it wasn't until recently I read up on what the holiday is all about.
