Please be aware that is very offensive, so please try not to include the term. Thanks for sharing.

    Try not to worry about it, Vaez. Learning another language is full of pitfalls, so it's best to know. Please keep posting here.

    From a purely technical point of view I'd pick No 4.
    Cheers Ole

    Vaez, Don't be ashamed. It is very, very hard to learn a new language well. I experienced this myself when I was younger and lived in another country. Once, when I thought I was asking a guard whether it was OK to photograph a government building, I accidentally asked if I could pay him (a bribe). The words differed by one letter. Once, when a distant relative asked me what I did for a living, he started laughing when I answered. I thought I told him I was an "analyst," but I instead told him I was a "conductor" (in musical performances). Again, one letter difference. Now I teach English to immigrants in my free time, and I see the difficulties from the other side.

    Been there, done that, Dan. I once added "Happy New Year" in Spanish in an email to an important PEMEX project engineer.

    Unfortunately I wrote "feliz ano nuevo" which means "happy new rectum" ... in this case, a missing accent mark over the ñ!
