Oh, well... I've got a "day time" key-card. Sometimes, once a 2-3 months I need to come to work at night. First time I needed that I asked my supervisor whether he could borrow me his card. It took him several minutes to understand that I was asking him for a card, not for a car, and me to understand why borrowing what I was asking for was such a problem.

I've been living in US for 6 years now, I knew English much better than majority of Russian immigrants to begin with and my accent is slighter than accent of 60-70% of us.

It does matter.
Sorry, maybe you already know this.

But you can't say "borrow me a card", it's "lend me a card".
Thank you.

Yep, I know. But I always mix up these 2 words.
