Everyone who's taken a Spanish class has heard at least one story about someone using the word "embarrasada" to mean embarrassed. As it actually means "pregnant" and not embarrassed, it can create some confusion.
Well, I haven't made that mistake, but I do have two Spanish words that I can't keep straight in my head. Here's the conversation I had with my Spanish teacher (in Spanish, but I'm writing it mostly in English here):
Prof: Hey, have you noticed there is kind of a big mess behind the school?
Amy: Oh yeah I saw it. I need to call the building manager. Creo que algunos sinhogares estan usando el rincon como un ordenador.
That last sentence says "I think some homeless people are using the corner as a computer."
So... the words ordenador [computer] and inodoro [toilet] are similar, right? It's not just me?
