        There's a basic grammar guide I used when I was a beginner at Japanese, that was written by an English professor of linguistics. It was full of mistakes and she'd misunderstood some of the grammar. I trusted it though, so would use that incorrect grammar myself. It wasn't until I'd taken a 4-5 year break and had to refresh myself on the basics again (using a series of textbooks written by native speaking teachers*) that I was able to pick up on the false information and correct it.

        There's just one that I still use by accident despite knowing it's wrong and that is using '~tagaru' to mean to really want to do something. Its real use is to describe what a third party wants to do, and I'll use it in that way, but just now and then I want to emphasise how badly I want to do something and this incorrect phrase will slip out before I can stop it!

        *Even so, I used a word from those textbooks in a conversation last Tuesday night and was told no one actually uses that word. So I guess no textbook is infallible.
        夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

            Nutrition. It wasn't intentionally wrong, but my mother used to make those frozen carrots & peas where the carrots are little squares that taste like cardboard, and use margarine instead of butter, etc.

                I can't think of anything specific (its not yet 6 am on a weekend), but I remember having to relearn a number of things that had changed during my 6 year hiatus from the field of biology whilst I played sailor girl.

                            Makeup application hands down the winner! As a Diabetic I took some nutrition classes to learn to read labels correctly.

                              I had to relearn pet rearing when I got old enough for my own pet, the way we did it when I was growing up wasn't a great way to do it.
