Kind of hard for moderators to know that maybe.
I would just not use those words to not be misunderstood. :)
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 :|
I have an issue with the word misunderstood, could you use something less offensive to me? Like perceived differently? Misunderstood implies an objective interpretation.
