That's not a problem with language - that's a problem of the person's experience being insufficient to describe what they saw... Plus, of course, a the bajillion translations, misspellings, etc.
Interestingly, they were going on about the English language on They Think It's All Over (silly sports quiz show) last night. Ended up with Rory McGrath concluding English is better than French because "it has this je ne sais quoi". *giggle* Very silly programme, but I don't imagine you guys get it over your way...
