English Sharing - End Consonants

The other day I talked about the importance of end consonants in English.  

Here is a real life case how a little error could lead to a large discrepancy 差之毫釐,謬以千里.

T-back
Tea bag

In a trial 審訊 on an indecent assault 非禮 and criminal intimidation 恐嚇 case 案件 currently being heard in Hong Kong, one of the witnesses 証人 was in court 法庭 giving evidence 証供.  In the evidence, the term "T-back" was mentioned.  However, the defendant's barrister 被告的大律師 asked "how large the "tea bag" is.  This completely changed the mood 氣氛 in the court!
