This one was more of a statement...

Right after I crossed, I was at the airport to fly home for Christmas. I was checking my luggage, and being the neo that I am, I travel in paraphernalia. I had on an "AKA 1908" hat (I've worn the hell out of it too!) The lady checking me in then hands me my ticket, and cheerfully says:

"OK, **(my name)**, ALSO KNOWN AS nineteen oh-eight, here's your ticket, Gate B1."

I took it and walked away kind of confused. It wasn't until I was waiting at the gate that I started chuckling, "ooohhh I get it."

I've heard of people making these mistakes:
AKA= also known as
DST= daylight savings time
PBS= public broadcasting system
any others?
