As Monster explained, certain words and phrases, while still in English, carry different connotations in different countries. If you aren't cognizant of where the poster is from, you can misinterpret the post.
I think this shows up more in the daily banter than posts on serious international issues, but it's still important to flow of thoughts and feelings.
