Waaaay back when I started playing D&D I misinterpreted lots of things.
I thought cure light wounds only cured wounds caused by light (sunburn and lasers or something).
Magic missile shot rocket-type missiles.
I thought find familiar meant you became familiar with something, like "I think I recognize this person, I find his face familiar."
Burning hands was a spell that made your enemies' hands light on fire (not a bad idea for a spell, btw).
Raise dead was a levitate spell that only worked on corpses.
I thought a cleric was a shopkeeper (as in "clerk"). And for some reason these shopkeepers could become undead (the DM said they could "turn undead").
And I totally didn't understand the old system of ranges; distances were all in "inches" and I thought spells totally sucked "what do you mean my magic missile spell has a range of 12 inches?!?!? that's only a foot!"
