Boy, everyone has wonderful yet different memories.

Why would you “correct an error”? Actually the term is “Ollie Ollie OUTS IN FREE!” but most neighborhoods had their own version depending on what they heard from another person. So whatever they said is really not an “error” just because you said it differently.
