    The three random ones that comes into my mind:

    • In Rhythm Heaven on Nintendo DS, if you get a “okay” rating in a remix, you get a comment saying “Hmm…” in UK version. If you are on US version, this changes to “Hm…” for some reason.

    • The information that tells the server what site you were on before costing their website in HTTP is called “referer”, and not “referrer”.

    • In StarCraft, the sound for selecting Greater Spire and Defiler Mound are most likely swapped around as a mistake.
