No need to apologize: I speak a right-to-left language myself, and I fixed
a few RTL bugs in MediaWiki, and I confirm that the original subject line
is OK :)

I'll use the opportunity to also thank the excellent N'Ko Wikipedians, who
are doing exceptional work to develop their language online!

I thought that I had checked everything enough times, but my attempt to
copy the N'Ko language translation didn't work as intended. N'Ko appears to
be a right-to-left language, and Google Mail has problems when I try to
write both RTL and LTR languages in the same email subject line or same
email paragraph. (See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system#Directionality.) Sorry about
that. Let's see if this comes across correctly: "ߡߎ߲߬ ߞߵߌ ߟߊ߫ ߛߍߥߊ߫ ߞߎ߲߬ߢߐ߮

*Humor*

Even those of us who often make public communications worry about making
big mistakes. This video (YouTube link)
, from the British political
satire "Yes, Prime Minister
", shows
what happened when the Prime Minister learned that Sir Humphrey
, who is the head of the
British Home Civil Service
,
made an indiscreet  comment that
was recorded by a BBC microphone. I feel some sympathy for Humphrey because
occasionally I too say something that I wish that I hadn't!
