I think he was making a joke there (along the lines of the saying, |
| 12 |
"It's not a bug, it's a feature!"). |

Sadly, this just goes to show how people need to be more careful in |
| 15 |
their wording in a community like ours with people coming from so many |
| 16 |
different cultures. Or maybe people need to lighten up a bit more, I |
| 17 |
don't really know which. |

Anyone have any further suggestions how we as a community can avoid |
| 20 |
this sorta confusion from in-jokes, idioms, etc? It seems to be |
| 21 |
happening very often now-a-days (or maybe I'm just paying more |
| 22 |
attention than I used to). |
