Me, again...
That is a good point. It doesn't apply in the specific example I gave, but
it could easily apply in the general case. E.g., something like:
StrPrintF( msg, "That's a %s %s, Mr. Smith", adjective, noun );
which in Spanish would have to be:
StrPrintF( msg, "Es un %s %s, Sr. Smith", noun, adjective ).
(Please excuse me if the translation is not perfect; high school Spanish was
a loooong time ago.)
