to give you an idea of how bad I am at Spanish, and how ill prepared I am, language-wise, for our trip to Spain in two days, I just misread "mejores" (from an email from Iberia Airlines) as "mujeres", which would make this "Women are highly in demand", and was like, excuse me, WHAT did you just say about me

"misread" is being generous to myself, it's really "read and misunderstood"

@lindsey@recurse.social that's right up there with feeling peckish and saying, "tengo hombre"

@lindsey@recurse.social have I ever told you about the time I was on a 14 mission close to Bernal Heights where I was trying to get to the back door and I wanted to say excuse me in Spanish but I confused the German entschuldigung with escucha and so I worked my way to the back door repeatedly calling out "listen up, please"
