Dear paddymac and sian,

Those are two great stories! Puts in my mind of an Irish class I was in and one of the students (not naming names, now) was asked by the teacher to use the verb 'go' in a sentence. Although the student meant to say, 'What time did you go to bed last night?', what came out was 'What time did you come in the bed last night?' I've never seen anyone's face turn as red as quickly than the poor teacher's! The worst part was that the teacher's own Irish teacher (a lovely elderly nun) was sitting in on the class that day. ;-)
