barely related, but it's funny to me how in anglosaxon countries you use the locution "quid pro quo", while here in italy we use "do ut des" to mean "a favor for a favor".

And that "qui pro quo" - in italy - means just a misunderstanding.

It's one of the funniest false friends that I've encountered while studying English
