* ''[http://hanzismatter.blogspot.com/ Hanzi Smatter]'' is a wonderful website tearing apart people who attempt their own translations into Asian languages, and then having the results tattooed onto them. At best, you have something tattooed on backwards (Which itself can change the meaning. 信 means honesty, 訃 means news of death). At worst, you find out that languages don't have a 1:1 mapping when the intended "hot ass" translated word for word is actually Chinese for "raging diarrhoea". Much lulz therein.
* This happens all the time to [[Separated by a Common Language|speakers of different dialects of the same language]]. A speaker of Parisian French may be very confused as to why this girl from Quebec is talking about how she'll heat his chariot, when she's really talking about driving his car.
{{quote|Parisian French: Chauffer ton char. (Heat your chariot.)
Quebecois: Chauffer ton char. (Drive your car.) }}
