I learned English so to speak on the street. So tongs or thongs is the same to me as tampax or ten bucks. :duh: I live in the USA almost 30 years but still speak funny and occasionally make silly mistakes. Spell checker is my friend and enemy I suppose. One time we traveled to a baseball game to Minneapolis. Since we didn't have a car because we drove with a friend I went to a hotel bar to ask my friend to borrow his car to get my wife tampax. While explaining what and why I needed when I said tampax he gave me 10 bucks. So it became a joke in our family.
Since the thread strayed from mice to spelling. Here is another story. I forgot a password for our commercial bank account. While trying to get in the bank locked the account after fourth try. I called the customer service asking them to enable the account and reset the password. They said that they will pass the request to IT and call me back. About an hour later I got call from my wife that our son was called by the bank telling him that all ours and his accounts are locked up because some Middle Eastern guy is trying to get in and rob them.
