Moleskine

I just learned that the famously hardy and convenient moleskin travel notebooks are not "moleskin" but "moleskine" (mol-a-skeen'-a), which is an entirely different woven material, unrelated to the "moleskin" used in clothes and blister bandages. And I've been saying it wrong all these years. Who knew?

Additional note: Apparently both words come from the original English word "moleskin," like the skin of a mole, but moleskine (the notebook) is an Italian creation, hence the different pronunciation.
(Yes, I did take the time to look that up. Yes, I'm a nerd.)
