It's the small things

One of my favorite websites "The Oatmeal," a collection of comics, frequently comments on how little differences in speach or phrase can make a huge difference. I just witnessed one with a coworker.

What she actually said to a student: "If I thought I'd look like you I would start Zoomba."

What I thought she said: "If I thought I looked like you I would start Zoomba."

Very small variance, VERY different meanings!
