These sound close enough in the Japanese that I'd guess your correspondents could figure out what you meant; certainly I've seen that be the case when people learning English make these kinds of mistakes. It's still horribly embarrassing, of course, and possibly worse in Japan with its elaborate code of courtesy. It just may not be as much of an impediment to actual communication as it looks.
