Simple things you get confused
The idea for this came from the irrational fear thread, so what are simple everyday things you constantly mix up?
For me, its peas vs beans. If someone mentions either of them in conversation for whatever reason I cannot figure out which is which.

I always get confused by 'effect' vs 'affect'.

Left and right. I cant recall them without a brief pause so I can think about which is which. If I'm caught off guard and am in a position where I have to make a snap judgment, such as telling a taxi driver whether to turn left or right, I might as well be flipping a coin - even if I know the way
It's absurd

Floods. Where does all that water come from? And why doesn't it just flow away?

ha - this is my wife to a tee!!
she used to hold up her left hand in front of her with her index finger going up and her thumb pointing to right, making an "L". i guess that worked great until i told her to do the same thing with her right hand, except with that hand have her palm facing her. so yea... now she's back to square one!

I was asked the other day to explain to a non-english native speaker how to explain the words ''even'' and ''ever''.
Couldn't do it, still can't.

I am not diagnosed dyslexic by any means, but I swear every time I'm at a party and a buddy has to show off his fully-stocked up fridge I'm exclaiming "a beer full of fridge!" Its happened many times over the years.
