    You're probably using <|Take Care|> wrong (autotranslate)

    If your client isn't in English, the auto translate of "Take care" isn't used as a farewell salutation but as a warning.

    Correct use of the autotranslation:
    Casting spell. Repose. Take care. Please don't attack.

    Incorrect use of autotranslation:
    Thank you. everyone. See you again! Take care.

    For fear of this becoming the next <|cap|> of FFXI... DON'T LEAVE YOUR PARTY SAYING <|Take care|>

    Lol, nice to know. Thanks for the heads up. If that's the case, 'Take care' should have been 'Be careful. '

    Welcome to ambiguity, where the words are made up, and the translations don't matter.

    And it's not restricted to the english side either - ever seen someone say <If you would be so kind.> - it could be "thanks", "ok", that'd be nice" along with a bunch of other things depending on context. (I believe the JP side of it is "omedetou").

    This reminds me of when people would autotranslate [Meat][Shield] referring to tanks.

    though "take care" is a valid parting phrase in the English language

    so I mean, it still makes sense
