I see so many people using 誤解 wrong. Textbooks say it just means 'misunderstanding' but actually it's only for when there's malicious intent. If you just made a simple slip-up, you have to use 勘違い. Using 誤解 makes you sound like you're accusing the other person of lying. Trust me, stop using it for everyday mix-ups.
