I think I actually learned the word عبادة from transliteration now that you mention it. Thanks for pointing that out!
You are welcome. Don't feel bad about it, in Arabic p and b, and f and v, sound the same and are often confused. Pepsi gets transliterated as بيبسي bibsi for example, Arabic also doesn't have e or o. I just wish people wouldn't start conspiracy theories based on transliterations. In some languages election and erection are easily confused, now that could be the seed for a fun conspiracy.
