We sure hope it won't, and we also hope our Tamil-reading friends won't have to endure any further weirdness from (really) poorly-translated messages like these.
By the way, we hope this apology was for them — also, here's hoping you guys remember to loop in one of your Vasantham colleagues when writing any Tamil on any of your signs or banners in future.
