Was I the only kid who thought the "D" in "Disney" was some kind of weird backwards "G"?

Oh, totally. In fact, it's very hard for me to un-see that.

Yes, I did.
And to this day I could never find out why they drew the D like that.

No, but I thought the y was a p for the longest time.
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.

No, never. It was always a loopy D to me.
That might have something to do with the US way of writing G. I learnt a variant. You guys have basically a C with an inward-facing tail; I learnt a C with a dropping tail.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

No, I always read that as "Disney" so see a "D".
She lives in the clouds and talks to the birds...
