Have you ever read something wrong in Japanese?

I thought originally this said

"You have to live"

"Kimi ga irukara"


Which is obviously wrong. Have you ever had such blunders? :)

Speaking of One Piece. Netflix Live Action Season 2, was amazing! Saw it recently!

heck, I still make mistakes in English

Language learning is full of such errors. Each one is an opportunity to learn, and the more embarrassing the mistake, the stronger the lesson becomes. Sometimes, the lesson is so strong it becomes a great story, like Tim Ferriss telling his host mother to rape him the next morning 「おかしてください」when he meant to ask her to wake him up「おこしてください」

I was trying to find the video (I thought it was in a TED talk or something) but couldn't find it

I think i make more confusion around names in English, due to some similarities. Although sometimes i do slip on English words like
"Refuge" vs "Refugee" for example.
