回复：Thanks for the nice summary!

yes, I am very positive. I made the mistake when I was ordering grilled sal-mon steak at the dinner table, and the server was confused.

on another dinner occasion, I tried to order striped bass, but said stripped basss. The server said they didn't have stripped fish.

I once ordered soap for soup too. On another occasion, I asked the several ladies behind the counter in a convenient store whether they had eggs, but instead of saing eggs, I said legs. Their answer was, "we don't sell legs".
