Translational Faux Pas :
In this thread we give examples of sentences that, while grammatical, takes a different connotation when translated to another language.
I'll start with couple of Indonesian sentences.
In Indonesian, it's acceptable to ask how someone died. However, unlike english, the proper pronoun that should be used is "why" as in "Why did your grandma die?"
[g your grandma]nenekmu[/g] [g her dying]meninggalnya[/g] [g why?]kenapa?[/g]

It's inevitable that inset stuff like that (they're called [style:font-family:monospace]float[/style]s in CSS) causes problems with box layouts. You wouldn't think they would, but they do! This is why Wikipedia doesn't float its tables of contents.
I'll rework the layout on news posts to have a bigger header, but there will probably always be at least one way to make ugly box-layout-related messes.

Tiny bug I found while pointlessly updating a blog post: [#109|an immediate box formatting tag] (ie [!box] - apparently brackets in the to-be-displayed link text breaks the link) in the body covers up avatars; I've seen other formatting, headings I think, do this partially before.

Some varieties of Quechua has a suffix that means "one who shares ~ experience with sb." So town-SUFF = compatriot/fellow citizen; person-SUFF = neighbor; work-SUFF = coworker, etc. Similar to 'mate' in English I guess except a little bit wider of a semantic meaning.

The following script is a semi-joke script, as evidenced by the glyph shapes.

The larger glyphs are meant to be capital letters.
