Okay, this is actually what I intended to mean originally. I see UK/NA folks (NA in particular) getting offended over that sort of thing.
Yes, I saw that a lot as well and that's the main reason I created that topic. Whether it's IC or OOC, different culture and different language will automaticaly lead to some problem. Even if you're really carefull, you're unfortunatly coming with your french brain (aka language, culture, but as well ideas, how school taught you stuff, etc.) when you're speaking in english for example. Tolerance is something that people have to learn and it's not always obvious that the way we read one sentence need us to be tolerant. Particularly for those who never learn another language.
