The confusion between "push" and pull" " Dear Diary, how is going? I hope that very well… Today something strange happened, involving; I, one woman, one door and the English language. Well… I have a big confusion between “pull” and “push”, for start the history. When I was arriving to the bank, I noticed that had changed the door and also put write just in English “pull” and “push”. The problem is that “push” is very similar to word “puxar” (in Portuguese). There are two pairs of words that the brain hentangleth himself on moment. Push (empurrar) … Pull (puxar) The problem not be confused, but the circumstance in that be confused. The circumstance was, I tried pull where was write “push” (similar “puxar”) in the door, the other side, an woman was trying “pull” (phoneticaly similar to “empurrar” >>> “emPU[ll]rrar”). We can not open the door almost for 30 seconds. She screamed that that door was for push, but was not possible listen, she not too listened me. I tried to read lips, I don’t can. Something reminded me that I have a problem with “push” and “pull”. I think “Damn! I mistake again!”. After that I let door, she pass and told-me – Hey, is the other door! Lol -. Ashamed I said to her – Sorry, my English is bad!. She was cluelass about it. I realized that she also don’t know English, but was him habit pass that way. I learned that, if you counteract the English language, can will counteract the Physic too.
