    I would just not use those words to not be misunderstood. :)

      I have an issue with the word misunderstood, could you use something less offensive to me? Like perceived differently? Misunderstood implies an objective interpretation.

      This where context and being aware that other cultures can be different linguistically comes in. How much do you think people in french speaking African countries care about a certain word that describes a color over there :|
