Well, I certainly do. Not only am I from another country and the sounds from my mouth are other misheard by theose around me. For instance when I say 'six' people hear' SEX'. When I say 'pin' they wall reach for a' pan' or a 'Pen'. Depending on the common accept that they are used to hearing. One English from England and the other English for Australia. Heaven for bid then if I am at a restruaranbk and all I want is a 'Fork!' Now I use the words eating utensil. As in a full set of a knife,
I am also Autistic. There for the but of the joke is often lost on me. Except that having gotten used to fifty five years of that situation if the body language is common then I realise that I am the butt of their joke. And that hurts. Be that as it maybe. Why let that affect the creativity that flows through?
You know yourself that the words and the intention behind the weords used can either make your day or tip the scales into the melt down or overload phase.
