Following a number of comments, I feel I ought to write a slight clarification on one of the 'bilingual blunders'. The students only ever asked me for a sheet [of paper] and would never use swear words. It's just that when they asked for a sheet, it usually sounded like the second phrase, much to the shock or amusement of the native English speakers. The point was that it didn't matter since we were all learning by making mistakes in each other's languages.
Apologies [sheepish grin].
