do you ever just read a word wrong and then have an existential crisis when you find out how it’s actually said/spelled

you know big endian that thing computers use to do stuff with bytes?

I thought it was en-a-di-an from the first time I ever saw the word until just now when I was watching a retro game mechanics explained video about atari quadrascan where the picture processor uses little endian and I thought he said it wrong

Yes actually. In an exam (of 2nd language) I pronounced something wrong and didn’t know what it meant… That option was unfortunately the correct one lol and I didn’t put that
