Tech log misunderstandings

This is a question posed to me as part of an ongoing research project - I'm working with a university english department asking some interesting questions about standardisation (or not!) of aviation English.


I'm sure that there have been plenty of occasions where written details about aircraft defects or work carried out have been misunderstood between aircrew and ground engineers.

Can anybody give me any good examples I can go off and think about? Also, can anybody offer any useful opinions about what environments (country, aircraft class, military.v.civil, operation type...) these misunderstandings tend to occur most, or least?
