"Separated by a single language" strikes again!

[Wilson Gray]

TIME, March 12, 2012; p.4

she accepted a Grammy, we misheard her as saying, "Mom, gold is good!"
In fact, … she said, "Mum, girl done good!"

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
