Wrong Takeaway

Every story has a moral, but these weren't intended.

Rules

1. Include a movie poster of the film for which you are giving a Wrong Takeaway. Use an external image link if possible instead of uploading to the instance. It saves space for others. (I use catbox.moe, personally.)

2. Post your Wrong Takeaway as the title.

3. Anything additional, put in the Text box.

Reading this title, I might risk an alien invasion.

Titlegore like this is why Ye Wenjie did nothing wrong

The word your looking for is "linguist", a person who studies language. Linguistics is the study of language.

Also "to spite", not "in spite of"

Don't piss off the interpretor cause they might intentionally mistranslate something so that it causes a war.

To spite those that were mean to them maybe?

Be nice to the astrophysicist too, do you remember what happens with Ye Wenjie?
