    Another thing is that the number mistakes like this is limited by their nature. While the number of possible sentences and meanings of said sentences is functionally infinite, the same can not be said for misheard sounds short enough to form a boneappletea in someone’s mind.

    Edit: Even more so if we restrict it to mistakes that are at least marginally funny. Someone hearing “-ethyl-” instead of “-methyl-” in the scientific name of a chemistry formula isn’t exactly material for this community, and they’re/their/there is so widespread that to post it here it would need to make a huge and horrifying/hilarious difference to the meaning of a sentence rather than the mundane shit it usually is.

      Exactly, although part of me would love to see the ethyl methyl example presented 100% seriously. Like, everyone gets this joke, right? (Then we’d need another community devoted to explaining the joke and it’s a whole thing, lol)
