It would have been far more sexy if he had said sixy!

I think it would be suxy if it was considered sexy to say sixy

I have found that many people new to English put things the wrong way round (obviously) but in a very pleasant and enjoyable way. Do originally non English speakers find a similar result when someone learns their language? Or is it annoying.

The particular people I am thinking of are friends who are French, German, Austrian (german speaker), Brazilian, Morrocan and Argentinian.

I found I experienced it far less with an Italian, Koreans, Japanese and Chinese for some reason...?

Now now, just because Australians say 'sex' instead of 'six', doesn't mean that New Zealanders do the opposite [img]smile.gif[/img]
