Hoi,
I have been a developer on midrange computers, my speciality was Synon/2, CLP and RPG/400. That and system management. I was responsible for backup and recovery for companies listed on the stock exchange. I ended up being CISSP certified.  Anyway at some stage my chef was told that a system showed "unexpected behaviour" when a function failed spectacularly. His reaction: "I do not care for euphemisms, why did it fail". He listed a large number of failure types.

Using euphemisms in this way, is talking down on the "unwashed".
Thanks,
     GerardM.

Hoi,
Given that I reached out time and again to quite senior Wikimedia employees to explain to me how Commons works for other languages, I appreciate that it may be unexpected to you.

Gerard, "unexpected behavior" is how the developers say "it's not supposed to be doing that."
