Don't be offended. We think it's just as funny when we mess up in other languages. I remember a woman who spoke decent spanish was speaking to a spanish church group at the request of the bishop. With the bishop sitting on the stand behind her she said, "I'm so embarrassed, and it's all his fault." gesturing towards the bishop. She didn't get the response she expected, though, and realized that she used the wrong word for embarrassed. "Embarazado" means 'pregnant'. I still get a good chuckle out of it. :-) -Adam Scott Stephens wrote: >From: "Barry Gershenfeld" >Subject: Re: [OT]: All Your Base Are Belong To Us ... ... > > >That is what is funny to Americans, the poor English.
