I think it’s a healthy thing to do to admit when your wrong as it places importance on truth rather than self image.

Some examples:

I thought pay-per-view was paper-view because you had to fill out a form to watch it.

This morning I insisted there was a noise outside to my partner and it was in fact the refrigerant in the fridge gurgling.

I thought the cat wanted to be pet— it did not.

    It’s “Revved up like a deuce.”

    Not “Wrapped like a dou…” well you know.

    First heard that song in 1981… Learned the correct lyrics in 2020. 39 years of being wrong, but I think I’m in good company.

    Also learned that the version that most people know is actually a cover done by Manfred Mann in 1976. The original artist is Bruce Springsteen and he recorded it in 1973.
