An appreciated Twitter oddity.

The other month I saw a "British translation guide" on Twitter, that gives examples of what a Brit understatedly says, what they actually mean by it, and how it's inaccurately perceived by non-Brits.

I texted it to my one (half British) (half Sudanese) friend (the sister of the brother-sister pair), and she texted back pretty much right away that she loved it, and  that she was going to show it to her boss at work.

Like the next working day, then, she texted me that her boss liked the translation guide so much, that he printed it out and taped it up by his desk.
