Common mistakes/misconceptions of Dhivehin

1- Calling all types of chewing gum and bubblegum by the name, Booma(although it is the name of a brand of bubblegum).

2- Calling all vampires by the name, Dracula(although it is the name of one of the most famous vampires) instead of saying ‘vampire’.

3-Calling all types of narcotics drugs by the name, hakuru whereas it is actually the name of one specific type of drugs, brown sugar.

4- Calling drug addicts by the name paatay/paate’ although it actually is short for partner(mostly partner in crime).

5- Calling me a human, although I’m a bestianthrope(not to be confused with misanthrope) but it will be better if you call me the bestianthrope or simply bestianthrope(with no a/the)…..and the correct/original/real spelling is ßΣ§ŦĮλИŦĦЯØΡΞ

6- Saying that I’m insane whereas I’m actually at the edge of sanity(but haven’t crossed over to the other side; the flip-side).

7- Saying that I’m good or bad, although I’m neither.

8- Saying that I’m drunk whenever I get angry although my blood is filled with adrenaline and other such chemicals at the time…but not drugs/alcohol!

NOTE:The above mistakes/misconceptions are not only of Dhivehin(except 1, 2, 3 & 4). These mistakes are not made by all people…there are more intelligent people in the world(like me ). If there are any more common mistakes/misconceptions made by Dhivehin, please let me know.
