I did take a class in foreign language learning when I was in college. Do you know how many times a word that has a T or a D has been translated the other way? Take for instant our beloved(TIC) Chairman Mao of the Peoples Republic of China. Is his last name Dong or Tong? Depending on who translated the name it could go the either way. I beleive that modern interpretation says Dong. So to have a play called dimeout, I would definitely warn the official before the game and as an official whenever he called it, I would look at him for visual verification.
