"why don't you two just play with your ears"
-a friend' s mother whose native language is not English, not fully grasping the spontaneous idom of "playing it by ear".
While on a mission trip to Honduras, a friend wondered why people were laughing at her when she asked their age, not realizing that you are asking a very different question without the tilde over the 'n.'
I just got my Master's degree in Linguistics and hope to teach English overseas. All around us are people who say the most amazing things, and it is my mandate to collect them and share them here.
peace
