francis_drake Некоторое время назад на интернетах витала шутка про ошибку в слове "хорово". Обнаружил презабавный сходный эффект в английском: "I would hae to say...", соответственно, hate или have. Источник несуществен, но если Вы гик, то он здесь.
Есть ли ещё примеры сходного эффекта?

Chai-pani (Hindi-Urdu) — may 20th, 2011
Although it literally means “tea and water,” one way to describe this compound word is as the money and favors given to someone, often a bureaucratic worker, to get things done.
In English, we would describe the action as “greasing someone’s palm,” but in Hindi-Urdu it doesn’t have as negative a connotation. If you don’t offer enough money or gifts in the first place, someone may actually tell you that you’ve given the pani, but you still need to give the chai.
Elmë (Quenya) — march 5h, 2011
Elmë means ‘we’, but it is a ‘we’ meaning a person, someone else, and the speaker, but specifically not including the person he is addressing. There is also a ‘we’ meaning just you and I (emmë), and a we meaning you, some others, and I (elvë).
