I know a lot of people, in this thread, that don't know 'further' means to advance something and 'farther' is a way to compare distance.

I learned today there are anchovies in Caesar dressing. Mind blown and disgusted.

Once while sitting at a red light I had a friend ask why do they call big trucks 18 wheelers

My friend thought that the word "anti-semite" was a word that generally meant"hatred." So if someone was anti-gay, anti-white, or anti-anything they were an anti-semite.
I had to show him the dictionary to convince him that it applied only to Jews.
He also uses "supposably" and "intensive purposes".

I knew a guy in the army that volunteered to go to Korea so he wouldn't get sent to Vietnam.
In 1999.

In medicine you find out there are tons of crazy things people either falsely believe or dont know, especially when it comes to sex. A lot of inner city teenage girls believe that if you stand up after sex, it reduces the risk of pregnancy.
There was also the bit going around Houston last year that if you put hot sauce in your vageen it kills the sperm. Several ER visits for that

One day driving my wife and I got on a conversation about space and she let it be known that she thought when people went into space on rockets that they were going to bases on the moon and mars. She was very surprised when I explained man had never been to Mars and had not been to the moon in over 40 years. She asked so what are they doing up there...

After returning from my honeymoon in Rome, I had a guy at work ask me how was it on that tiny island.

When I lived in California I met a chick that didn't know where Alaska and Hawaii were located... Because of how they're often positioned on map.

Should have told him it felt like you were about a degree North of NYC.

I get that, but you thought England was an island, which brought up one of my pet peeves for obvious shite that people don't know. England is no more of an island than Midtown Manhattan is. They're both on islands, but are not islands themselves.
Another obvious thing that people should know is that before you call someone out for not knowing something, you should probably be sure that you're not also incorrect, regardless of whether it's to a lesser extent.
