When you choose the title of your thesis - in my case "Korrelative konstruktioner i Nufransk" - and then you have to explain to your scientific advisor what the heck you mean by that.
When you firmly believe that you don't need to translate that title into English for the members of this forum. Well, maybe explain it, but not in this thread...

Via Diva, I totally agree that I agree in both cases. However, figuring out even this fact took me a few more seconds.
This whole subject might get funny, once we include the languages/nationalities.
I hate Russian/French/whatever false friends. :-D

When you get addicted to an online game and set its language on German, because it's 6WC time and even a waste of time should involve your TLs

When you don't really watch the F1 which has come back after a long break because you are discussing languages and language learning

Cavesa, Hearthstone. Switched back to English, though, I don't really learn
anything new that way.

When the anger caused by lagging of a German F1 stream is not about "I am going to miss
something in the race!" but "Damn, less time for my 6WC".
