I bet people end up in all kinds of situations by misunderstanding words from another language.
I wonder how many French people have "demanded" something they were "asking" for, and been surprised at the response.
Also I wonder how often English people use the familiar tu instead of vous and accidentally insult French people?
I did raise the eyebrows of my elderly French neighbour by saying on a hot day "Je suis chaude"; unaware of its sexual connotation.
