[quote="SoraJS" post=662901][quote="Akemi" post=662893][color=#880000]I'll have to say that this "name change" is completely unneeded. Everyone knows damn well that you had no intention to offend anyone with the name, and looking at it from an "international perspective" is misused here as Morgan was still looking at it from an American standpoint. International aka across the globe means you have to take every country into account. For example, within the Netherlands, the word "spook" means ghost, what if he was using it in a Dutch way? Could you really punish him for it because the name means something else in a different place? Of course not. I find this entire name-change stuff complete and utter bullshit and I think it should be reverted ASAP.[/color][/quote] The word isn't restricted to just the US. Also if you put it in your way you'd be disregarding what it's commonly used for in America as well (323.1 million in population). Also if you're going to say "Oh I meant it as this in this language" you could take that as loopholing as well.
