For example, I saw someone just now. I thought he was Jack, but turned out he was not. Or, I saw something and recognized it as something else incorrectly. Is there a word for such situations?
I know if I read something wrongly, I could say "I misread it". and if I hear something wrongly, I could say "I misheard it". But I cannot find the word "missee" in any dictionaries. Is there something else people use?
Answer
Here are my possible answers,
I'm sorry. I thought you were someone/somebody else.
I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone/somebody else.
I'm sorry. I've mistaken you for someone/somebody else.
