Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down (lemmy.ml)

TIL that people didn't get this. I had a similar situation where I would pronounce unleaded as unleeded

Oh, I used to do this all the time. You see a word in print, but you never hear anybody say it, so you wind up pronouncing it wrong.

I think the best was when I pronounced "misled" as my-seld because I thought it was the past tense of "misle".
