The better question is, how much can we simplify to make better 
translations easier? There are some places were we torture even the 
English language to provide some information that could be better 
presented in other ways, even for English speakers (readers).

I know I am guilty of a particularly bad piece, the government helptext. I 
should fix that soon by reverting back to the way it was before, with 
static helptexts.
