Footballer John Carew has a tattoo on his neck that reads 'Ma vie - Mes Régles', which theoretically translates as 'My life - My rules'.
However, apparently the use of the accent on the word 'Régles' gives it an entirely different meaning. On Carew's ink, the acute accent is used, when the grave accent would be more accurate.
Not a significant difference? Well it is, when it changes the meaning of the tattoo from 'My life, my rules' to 'My life, my period'.

If he's a 'winger' it would make sense.
