Why is it that the English version of the text on my washcloth label says "carefully woven in Egypt", while the rest of the languages just say "made in Egypt"? Do we have a bias against Egypt? Or are some things not made well in Egypt and marketing is trying to counteract that? Or maybe things in English-speaking countries are made shoddily so we have to be told that this product is actually good quality, whereas people in other countries already assume it? Or maybe a translator was bored and decided to have a little fun and sneak it past the boss. Hmmmm. So many options. I'd say it's time for bed.
