L10n:WorldReady/ConfusingEnglishDangerWords

As opposed to "Simple English" these are words that are similar sounding or have similar spelling to words in other languages, but have different meanings that can cause problems or extra in localization. These are words that "require" translation to get meaning correctly conveyed to users. This is especially important in content like trade marks which cannot be translated and where these words should be avoided. When they are included in content, they should be marked in ways that alert localizers to the need for special handling or provide background context into the intended meaning as a reminder.
