Thing is, not all translators have native understanding of English nor of English phrases. Adding phrase's meaning into trivia section would help translators and people, who read Wiki in English, but don't have native understanding of it nor its phrases. [[Talk:Lacking Moral Fiber Mask|Example can be found here (Lacking Moral Fiber Mask)]]. It wouldn't require much to add phrase's meaning into trivia section, and it would make it clearer and more helpful, while it may seem very obvious to native speakers. Another example would be "K-9 Mane" (in trivia would be added "K-9 Mane is pronounced similar to Canine man" or something like that); although this example was fairly simple, it might still be good addition to make it clearer. -[[User:Asplode|Asplode]] 13:04, 7 October 2012 (PDT)

:{{c|Support}} — Thats's a good idea, not all of us have the same understanding. I think I'll agree if we have to simplify the trivia into much compact and easy read pieces.But we will just leave some as it is . Well since i am also like to tamper with trivial things , I'll second this one :) [[User:Irufort|Irufort]] 05:07, 9 October 2012 (PDT)
