When someone from your country writes some posts in your native languange and you barely understand what he means but when he writes in your target language you totally understand what he means.

When your mum is proud that she's found a post with the word coffee "in many languages", and you're disappointed that it's just five, including Russian.

When it's been upsetting you since August that now you can choose "last week" in active topics and see all posts, and then you realize that same happens with "last month" by now. (previously I'd get an indication that as a non-premium member I can't see so many posts)
