No Mutants Allowed

include examples. Just now I wanted to see what "delicate" becomes in Norwegian, and I *feared* it would translate to "delikat", which is a word we have, which DOES NOT mean "delicate" - and it did!

In Norwegian "delikat" *only* means delicious to eat, on a dinner plate. It does *never* mean lightly built, or fragile, or - well - delicate!

These false friends are input by Norwegian users, who are clearly 1. ignorant + 2. confident. Ignorant confidence, the biggest fucking bane upon humanity brought by the goddamn internet, every single day doing Satan's work.

Delicacy is the cause of this.

Yes, the words are definitely cognates - but cognates do not automatically make the words *mean* the same! It is a very common problem in (sloppy) translations.

No need to be mean about it.

I'm upset at *the situation*

No need to make a big deal about it.

What's even the point of living, then?
