A very common occurrence for someone who is raised by parents whose native language is something other than English is to learn how to mispronounce words ... and be blissfully ignorant while doing so. My personal example is for many years, I was convinced that there was a department store chain called K-MARK. Why? Because this is how my dad repeatedly pronounced it.
In a similar vein, have you ever had a song in your head and when you sing it to yourself, you're rather proud of how you really know the lyrics ... and then, sometime time later in your life, you find out you were WAY off base?
Well, there is a web site that is a depository of self-reported messed-up lyrics ... if you feel up to it, go ahead and report your self-delusional lyrics.
