Inktober Day 3: Bat
As an immigrant, learning a non-native language had its lost in translation moments. From hearing the words but filtered through noob ears, saying the words and sounding different, not caring and saying and meaning how you want [hehe]...figuring out nuanced moments took time and plenty of learning through mistakes. The learning continues.
One says "Bat"
Other hears "Bat"
For Other can mean:
Bat 🦇
Bat ⚾️🏏
But ☝🏽
Butt 🍑
Bat [silent H] 🛀🏽
Other needs to ask for clarification, or just let it ride and see what happens.

"First, 50 years ago, the first Filipino American Studies (FAS) classes were taught at UCLA and UC Davis. With classes previously established at San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco, 1972 was the year in which FAS began to be taught across multiple institutions and states (with FAS classes being established at Western Washington University and the University of Hawai’i in the mid-1970s). Over the past 50 years, college-level FAS classes became instituted at colleges and universities all over the country – from Oregon to Michigan to Virginia."
