However both of the leaping dog's feet are on this side of the other dog, although partially hidden by the words. I agree that we just can't please everyone and I can't start trying to ether.

I hadn't considered low resolution to cause such misunderstandings.<br /><br />I guess that's why retailers usually uses focus groups/test groups, to get this kind of feedback. And when you add different cultures and languages to the mix, it gets exceedingly difficult to navigate the possible traps of words, symbols, body language etc. that are profanities or taboos in other languages. <br />It's almost impossible to not offend anyone without becoming bland.<br /><br />I have so many stories, but they all involve just this - taboos or profanities when using words, logos, brands etc in other languages, so I'll leave those to the avid googler.Veronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235001581917210962noreply@blogger.com
