SWENGLISH SLIP-UPS 24

Maj-Britt berättade för sina amerikanska gäster att hon inte haft någon vidareutbildning utan hade lärt
sig på jobbet. ’You see, when I was 17 I jumped off the gymnasium’. Smärtsamt, Maj-Britt.

Sekreteraren på ett stort företag välkomnade den internationella gästen i receptionen. Hon ville att
gästen skulle hänga av sig och följa med henne till VIP-rummet. ’Please take off your clothes and come with me to the whip-room’ sa hon utan att rodna. Hon visste inte att V.I.P. uttalas nämligen som tre helt skilda bokstävar på engelska.

Karin förvånade sina engelsktalande vänner med att meddela ‘Oh, I’ve lost my leg. Oh no, there it is. On the table’. Det engelska ordet ‘ID’ hade nog passat bättre i denna sammanhang.
