The examples you give aren’t intrusive in real time. There is something fundamentally different between these cases.

Try misusing the words 'ironic' or 'literal', and tell me it's not intrusive in real time...

In the last few years, Google translate has dramatically improved for many languages. This has allowed me to explore other written languages more quickly. I can just copy a phrase into Google translate and get a sense of the meaning. It is also interesting to see how different languages phrase things or the terms they use.
