"Thanks to Back to the Future, I grew up pronouncing 'Gigawatts' as 'Jigawatts.'"

The "jig-a-watts" pronunciation is not incorrect, though. It's just antiquated.

Writer's tip: "Everyday" means "ordinary." You want "every day."

@Numba23: If only you had a worldwide repository of knowledge at your fingertips on which to look things up.

Needs more burning cars on the shoulders.

(Yep, I lived outside L.A. for a couple years and saw an inordinate number of cars burning on the side of the highway in that short time.)

@Idil: You might be misunderstanding the myth of #7. After all, it's not very well stated on that site.

The myth is that hair grows back thicker and darker after repeatedly shaving it, more so than if you were never to have shaved it at all. As an example, a woman who has shaved her legs for years, should she suddenly allow it to grow out, would have much thicker leg hair than a woman who never shaved her legs, according to the myth.

The truth is, however, that shaving does not make hair thicker. The fact that it's untapered when first growing out makes it feel and appear coarser, which contributes to this myth. More so, however, is the fact that most people's hair tends to get thicker as they age, anyway, so suddenly stopping shaving after years reveals hair that would have been thicker, anyway.

This myth is why former competitive swimmers always contribute their thick body hair to having shaved it all off for years, beginning when they were young. But that fact is it would've become that thick, anyway, had they never shaved.
