It is plain to see that they are two entirely different people. That is because they are not twins. They do look slightly similar, at least I think so. One is taller than the other, I noticed that when looking at them together. Obvious. Also they are not called Dec & Dec or Ant & Ant. That is why you said,'they have entirely different names', that is Obvious.
Britney Spears and Christine Aguilera would never be compared to Ant & Dec. That is silly to even make that suggestion or possibility. Nobody could really confuse those two. Unless they have a memory span of a goldfish with amnesia, as you sarcastically pointed out.
The confusion for myself and many others regarding Ant & Dec. Is that they are always together and introduced as Ant & Dec, but we just don't remember which is,'Ant' and which is,'Dec.'
T.i.b.b. member Wasted kindly pointed out the difference to myself, nice one Wasted From now on, I and other members who have read his description of Ant & Dec will know the difference.
It was nicer than someone saying,'You'd have to be pretty simple to not tell them apart.' That is pretty rude - to be honest

Now now, there's no need to get on your high horse just because you can't tell two people apart.
And since you mentioned twins, I and many people all over the country can tell Sam and Amanda from the last Big Brother apart without any trouble =]
So you're suggesting that because they're a double act, and introduced as "Ant and Dec" leads to confusion about who is who?
I really don't see how that comes into it, as Ant is Ant and Dec is Dec regardless of whether they work together or not. You're almost suggesting they don't have their own identities, and just because they work together means they're not their own person.
I can put a name to each of there completely different faces, and you can't. So all you have to do is ask yourself why?
Perhaps you just don't pay much attention.
Or really do have a bad memory.
As Im sure they address eachother by their individual names often enough, as well as people they work with calling them by their names seperately also. Such as Kirsty on Ant VS Dec featured on Saturday Night Takeaway.
 < This is Robert
 < This is William
They both look slightly similar, but if they were on your television screen as a couple for years on end, whilst addressing eachother by their individual names...Im sure you'd be able to establish who is who even with those two smilies. They're both almost identical but it could easily be done, whereas Ant and Dec don't have two matching yellow faces, and have different voices and personalities to go along with it.

I am not getting on my high horse. I am mearly replying to your last post and I kindly returned it with mine. I think it is quite easy to mix Ant & Dec up, as I originally said. I know by what member: Wasted has said above, that there are particular differences between the two presenters. I have now learnt the easy way to tell them apart.
You can definitely say that many people all over the country can tell Sam and Amanda apart - especially yourself, as it appears you are very much a fan, I imagine
But many people also get confused with those twins. They are very much confusing. I must admit that I mistake one for the other. I can hold my hand up and say that.
I am suggesting that as Ant & Dec are a double act, get introduced as Ant & Dec. Many of us watching the programme may not know which is which
I think that is very fair and honest to say. I can observe that Ant is Ant and Dec is Dec, just the same as a ham sandwich is different than a blancmange. I have tasted both and found out that was very true. I am not saying that either Ant or Dec don't have their own identities, that would be rather foolish and stupid. I am saying that it is still easy to get confused
You make an assumption based on the fact that I get confused on which is Ant and which is Dec by saying that I either don't pay attention, or really have a bad memory? Perhaps you should speak to a few proffessors with fantastic memory spans and ask them the same questions: 1) Do you know which is Ant and which is Dec? 2) Have you a bad memory? I would actually venture to say that the answer to question 1) could receive a reply of either Yes or No? The answer to question 2) would receive a reply of No. So how can you actually clarify that I have a bad memory
you can't!! I simply confuse Ant & Dec and that is all.
They do mention each others names, I shall agree with you there completely. I have never heard Ant call Dec - Tweedlydee
or the other way round
But even that can get missed and apparently it has. I see your little (smily example) that was almost funny.
