Reading a paper in English by a scholar trained primarily in France. It’s well written, without any obvious issues. When you look closer, though, you find quite some occurrences of these semi-false friends like affirm, implant, consolidate, suppress, valorize, etc.

I caught myself recently using “suppress” with the meaning of “supprimer” :-/
