I was reading Waterland by Graham Swift for ENGL 445. It was the fourth or fifth book we'd read, and I wondered why they all had British punctuation. You know, apostrophes instead of quotes and things like that. And the British spelling--colour and behaviour, things like that. I thought, "Does he have a hard on for British writers or what?"
Then I remembered it was British Literature and I was a spaz.

I don't know about you, but "a-ha, I'm dumb" moments like that make me remember the text more than I would have, so maybe you lucked out? If not, then at least it's a healthy laugh! ^_^
