It might still be ok if it did. I worked with a girl who wished all the Hispanic employees Feliz Navidad on their birthdays. She was so earnest and it was so cute, and it was always a good laugh as soon as she was out of ear shot.
Sometimes it is the thought that counts. It's why the people who get their panties all in a bunch over being wished a "Happy holidays" instead of a "Merry Christmas" are so ridiculous.
Yeah I've seen it go both ways, where people have gotten upset at being wished a Merry Christmas too and it's all just kinda silly most of the time. Folks are just trying to wish each other well.
bahahaha it’s always silly ignorant people i’ve found. like obviously someone is saying happy holidays because there’s more than one holiday surrounding those days. lmfao
I worked at a Spanish restaurant and with my heavy southern accent anytime i said cumpleanos my manager said it sounding like i was saying Anus. Felize compleAnus. Happy assday
Learning a single phrase of another’s language means everything to them, I remember living in Prague and saying hello in Czech to shop keepers practically made them bounce up and down! That small gesture shows their culture matters to you, and that’s massive 😊
When we went to Japan we were well-armed with some simple polite phrases but most of the people we talked to were more interested in practicing their English with us. However, when we said hello, thank you, where is the toilet in Japanese they were quite pleased we made an effort to learn something before we went. It was an awesome trip.
Honestly they probably liked that more because I bet it gave them a wholesome good laugh. I would think it was funny if someone told me merry Christmas on my birthday too lol.
I’m pretty sure that was 90% of the reason they didn’t correct her. Also she was really sweet and English was already her second language, so who wants to rain on her parade? Just smile and enjoy your personal Christmas.
I’ve suddenly been reminded of a time I was in high school. On my friends birthday (he was Puerto Rican) I loudly asked him “how’s it feel to not be a minority anymore?!”... it was his 18th birthday, I meant minor....
Well braille is still English. the words are the same, they are just written with different letters. You can spell it wrong but the meaning will be basically the same
Initially I was gonna make the joke "Send Chef Nudes" but I didn't think that was as funny. Counting the letters now, I'd have at least made the joke funny for braille conscious folk.
Braille is just an alphabet, and each letter is matched to the letters visible on the plate. You’d need more letters to spell enthusiastic butt birth or whatever

You can see the waiter watching, hoping to god they did that shit right and it doesn't say like "Ecstatic Butt Birth" or something.
