This is what I have thought. It’s a guideline we help with learning language by speaking it with clean vocabulary, avoid swearing and use everyday language. I wanted to make an effort to learn the greetings.

Reply to comment by imhoopjones in TIFU by pushing my Magic: The Gathering Deck too hard at Friday Night Magic. by splbm
I will say that it certainly isn’t for everyone, but I do enjoy it and have found something else I like to do.
Edit: not to mention, as a shy person, this has grown my outlet to make friends.

It’s like you called him Homo instead of Homer.

As far as I understand the concept of okama isn't a very pretty picture of homosexuality
Okama is based on the flawed concept that gay men would want to convert people into their sexuality

People like it when you go to their country and try to use their language.
People who immigrate to America and are struggling to fit in and often facing issues due to their differences in appearance and language... they may not feel the same way especially if it's a half-assed effort (OP got it wrong). It can feel condescending.

So you learned something about this person's weird personality. Chalk it up to experience and move on. Most people like it when you show you've learned a bit about their background. But ... do be careful. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Google translate is not how to learn a phrase, because the nuance you can't express in one language can be the difference between polite and sarcastic in another.

I’m pretty sure any reasonable person would call that an honest mistake

Give him divorce papers wrapped up for his birthday present.
He is lying about not using prostitutes! Check his bank accounts.

He's not.
Unless you've led him to believe that you speak Japanese, he'd be clinically insane to be actually mad.

If it was just a porn addiction, that might not be too bad, but calling escorts…..

They might be more cautious but given the volume of partners and let’s face it the type of partner, there’s still quite a bit of risk

Seems pointless to downvote this comment. I guess we all are expected to jump on the holier-than-thou train?
But, yeah OP sorry it happened. Infidelity sucks ass.

Lol keep projecting because you didn’t do your due diligence. Home inspection does not belong in that list Lmao you’re a ducking idiot. I’m glad it’s required for home sales in many places so other people can’t be had by your truly terrible advice.

I know it's popular to say that intention doesn't matter when you hurt someone, but honestly, it feels a lot worse to me when someone hurts me out of intention than out of misunderstanding. The fact that he had to explain the insult excuses you of insulting him with intent.
Apologize to him, and assure him that it won't happen again- and make sure you don't. If he's still rude to you afterwards, that's on him.

This is pretty different from other responses I'm getting. Still pretty good advice. I'll remember.

Well most of these guys videos are in new York and people are always excited when he learns and embraces their culture. I also play online with many non native English speakers and if I ever pick up and repeat some of the phrases they use they fucking love it, shits hilarious to them
