You, of course But still it seems to me that your sister could write to this thread herself. And whatever the case, I am very amused by this. (Actually, I happen to have a Colgate toothpaste...)

That's the only thing from all you named that I would consider "normal", because I would also read it like that. In fact, for already a very long time I have similar problem with the latin verb "volo". But that's even more obvious, I believe.
