I love non-native English speakers. Dammit, I love them and I don't care who knows it. And now I will proceed to pimp them for your enjoyment.
1. I had to hold in my laughter when one of the students was talking about latitic acid last week.
(Note: when I told my mom this story, she could not remember the actual term. It's lactic. Latitic is thus funny because the word "tit" is funny. Now that I've explained it, it seems to have lost the humor. Come on. Tit? Tit is funny.)
2. Another student was explaining the concept of a field (as in sprawling hilly landscape with grassy knolls):
"Jou know. It's like a farm and a house then miles and kilometers and dirt and popcorn."
(confused looks at the foreigner....)
"Sorry. Corn."
