That is so true, I have friends from other countries that get so confused. Another one is the classic two, to, and too. Or to use the other one in a sentence:

There is nowherein the world like Scotland for the destruction of the English language. West of Scotland slang is an amazing part of our culture. Anyone who has spent anytime in Glasgow will know exactly what I mean. This is not an attack on Scotland. I love slang and use it everyday.

I was talking to a friend today, he is from Russia and he said that most of his friends have a hard time pronouncing rural. Then I remembered when I was in Russian class a few years back we went to the ESL room (english as a second language) and alot of the kids said the same thing, it was hard for the Martialese kids and everyone else.
