- Goes to prison for sexual assault, but found innocent of rape. Released after 11 months when new evidence helping prove his innocence is found. The prosecution states they "lost it" and it was not deliberate.

From a great post about 2pac found here, so I hope people give it a read, it has a lot of info on him.

Am an English speaker and I said orgasm instead of organism. It happens :)

Oh don't worry! It's fine, a simple mistake. Don't feel too embarrassed. Totally understandable if English isn't your first language. I've even seen English speakers write they want to be a "raper" when they meant rapper.

I don't know any other languages, but I can say that it's easy for most people to laugh off misunderstandings when someond else says something wrong. Sounds like they know it was a mistake, so I think it will be forgotten in no time. I get the embarrassment tho lol.

Hey! Honestly, I AM a native English speaker... and I fumble up my words now and again! Particularly when I'm anxious, in a new situation and my mind is processing 100,000 things at a rapid speed! I've said some of the dumbest things! Particularly with similar sounding words!
It was OBVIOUS what you meant. If English is not your strong suit while speaking, it should have caused a pause, followed by understanding. It should not have ruined the day.
Her father's overreaction is more on him than you.
It'll be a funny memory one day, I promise. It's not a big deal!

Be proud you speak more than one language and are trying. You got this. Never be ashamed of your native language. He could have been kind and understanding and laughed with you. Hugs.

And thats the whole reason the dude took to heart. On the otherhand if they cant have a giggle with u saying funny shit, I’d chose a new family if I was you. Fuck that tight up, proud of who we are bs. We are all human we all cry and shit the same. Big fucking rap fan huh 😂 2pAc bruh 😭😂

Yeah… u thought it would be rappist-instead of rapper. This is an obvious mistake and it’s ok. This is their test. If they really are fond of you and like you, they d consider this as a cute babish mistake… If he doesnt like you then good luck, this will come before you every once a while. Best of luck. Nonetheless, this is going to renain as avery funny damily memory

You write English pretty well for someone who doesn’t speak the Language properly. 🤔

Entirely deserved, even if the coworker really was lying.

My Chinese girlfriend does this quite a bit.
Eagle beans = chickpeas
Passionate fruit = passionfruit
Metal cloth = tinfoil
They're always hilarious, and definitely not something to be worried about.

I really admire people that can speak 2 languages! Mistakes will happen! I only speak English and I still get muddled up lol

They will have understood you. No need for face making in my opinion. Just let it go, and be glad someone tries to speak a language and adapt.

You gotta chill out. Being that nervous is your FU. That was a funny mispronunciation nothing more and if English is your second language there will be plenty more. Just relax, speak a bit, listen more, let people absorb your calmness. If you are all weird and nervous that's the energy they'll absorb from you and it will be awkward.

LOL this reminds me of when I wrote “shit” instead of “sheet” as a title for a paper quiz. The teacher made fun of me in front of the entire class lol it was so embarrassing.
I think he realized that I was in the English Learning program sometime after because he started treating me extra carefully lol and mentioned something nice about my English.
