It is understandable.
You get the reference, right?

"All this talk about race is divisive," says Officer Kenny's attorney. "Try to put yourself in a policeman's shoes for a minute. Cops need to make quick decisions in hostile situations, and that means they have to use the professional instincts they learn while on patrol. The Bigtopian boy fitted the description of someone for whom there was an arrest warrant, and he was wielding a baguette - which on a dark night can easily be mistaken for a shotgun - in a threatening manner. This tragic mistake was an isolated incident, and Officer Kenny shouldn't be held responsible for a single error on the line of duty."

You don't comb your teeth, nor is there any distinction between combs that themselves have teeth and combs that do not have teeth (largely since the latter would not be combs). It's just that this particular comb's teeth are unusually fine.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

Look in your Settings. My guess is that you have "a Meso" in one of your demonym custom fields. That makes the macro in that issue produce bad-looking output.
Edit: Yep, your nation's page reveals the error. Change the custom field.The frighteningly efficient a Meso economy...

Only because I'm too lazy to do anything about it right now, it's fine. If I'm ever fixing anything else in that issue, I'll do it, but it's grand. It's correct.
