I once thought 1001001 was 1000101!

I always misread Unicron as Unicorn.
Also, I misread Rojohen as Rojojen.
Not only have I pretty much misread all these, I think I've misread every single username that has non-wordspelling letters; numbers; two or more consonants starting or ending the name; unusual capitalization and, my personal favorite, any usernames that can be read as two or more names or words run together or hyphenated or separated.
I was going to type out examples but my hands started shaking and I broke into a cold sweat.

I've also always thought it was blablover because she liked to talk!
And for the longest time I read Rojohen as Rohojen, so I thought he was a woman.
I'm sure there are others I've mispronounced.

For the life of me, whenever I think of the lovely Niorah, I think of Norah Jones.
How does it feel being a reptilian tomato?
Ah!I would have never suspected that my handle would be read as that. On the other hand, being Italian, a tomato is oddly appropriate!

For some reason I want to put an "N" into your name....PKNTrekGirl.
I must be dense (entirely possible, by the way) because I don't get the joke, I'm afraid.
Although the occasional poster has referred to me as PKTechGirl, which is, of course, the name of the Farscape episode from which my username is derived.
No joke...just my own silliness when ever seeing your name...that letter "N" always is there.
Pay no mind to me Jerfire.
Well, glad I wasn't missing a joke that was otherwise obvious to all, anyway.
But we both did the same thing. You added an "N" to PKTrekGirl....and I added an "N" to Flukie. That was years ago, I did that...and I'm still a bit embarrassed over it.
Same here.
For a time I was calling Zion Ravescene - Zion Ravestone.
With my username, I've noticed people add a space between Elim and Parra, and also call me ElimPara
At first I thought Rojohen was a woman also, even though I read the name correctly. I figured she was married to Rojocock.
Turn up the volume on that Barry White cd, babe: it's iguana tonight!
Ah!
Actually, I originally thought it had some kind of tomato connection as well. Although Italian seems to be one of the few languages where the word doesn't sound like "tomato", so I quickly figured out that I should pay more attention to what it actually is.
I don't even try to remember his name anymore, I just read it (and write it) as ZR. Of course, that means I confuse it with Orac Zen, but that's a whole different issue 
As long as I don't find myself in a Chicago-style "pizza", pretty good.
Ah, interesting. I was aware that having an Italian word as my handle was going to make it a bit difficult for my English-speaking friends, but the tomato connection never occurred to me. For anyone interested (so, I guess no one
), it means "thundering iguana" and it's pronounced "ee-GWAH-nah toh-NAHN-teh". The more you know. 
Funnily enough, the Italian word for tomato is pomodoro, which literally means "golden fruit": leave it to the Italians to have nonsensical but beautiful names for common objects.
Let's just call the whole thing off...
For the record: I'm not Ominous
That's okay. I'm not Adam Hawthorne, either.
I misread Deranged Nasat as Deranged Nest.
