What caused you to see that; concerns for other English dialects, international/translatation, or something else?

I'm pretty ignorant, but I enjoy trying to misinterpret my own text, which is often easy.

It was either Kernighan or Ritchie that mentioned that every few years they read Strunk & White's Elements of Style to increase their ability to be understood and understand others.

I didn't want to, but I'd admit: I have been spotting ambiguities a lot more since taking NLP classes :) This one actually bothered me enough to ask.
