I know that feeling. The Japanese can't say 'cook' for some reason, they drop an 'o'...
I love it when I have to teach kids jobs vocabulary; I get a room full of 8 year olds shouting "He is a cook!" in their Japanese way with huge smiles.
And I can never make them understand why I am laughing at them.

Most English speakers do the same thing in Italy when trying to order food, apparently. "Penne" is a type of pasta; "pene" means penis. What sort of crazed maniacs actually listen to the difference between single and double consonants? This is why the Roman Empire collapsed.

It's really annoying. The number of times I've ordered penis arrabiata and ended up with pasta...

Oh, is that why you were so bloody grumpy last time you came round for dinner?

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.
Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.
If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.
Cheers.
