    That's the word "attack" that disturbs you? Try to imagine that,
    like most people over the world, my mother tongue is not the
    English.
    I often make word to word translations (yes, that's generally very
    bad [*]). For instance, the French "attaquer en justice" means "to
    sue".

    [*] According to Babel Fish, translating English into French,
    "it's raining cats and dogs" means "il pleut des chats et des
    chiens". Do never use that :-) The right translation is "il tombe
    des cordes" (word to word : "it's falling ropes").
