It got a little comical during announcements. It was a "mortal" sin to just say "Chinese-meeting," so everyone was well rehearsed at saying "Chinese-speaking-meeting."

LOL!
There was always a loophole around the ground of locality clause in the LC's canon law. Separate meetings, separate Lord's Tables, separate administrations based on language = OK if we do it but not the people next door at the Korean Church - they're obviously "not clear" about the ground.
Then there was always the loophole around having 2 or 3 or more LCs in one city because of divisions. Which one is the genuine article? Ask the Anaheim Politburo - they will put their stamp of approval on the real one. The rest are fakes...I guess?
(Not that there's a headquarters or anything.)
