I know what you mean, Aurelie. I didn't learn enough french for it to be useful, so I never liked it much. Now I can appreciate it, so it's kind of fun.

I'm not being condescending, I'm too busy thinking about far more important things you wouldn't understand.

Absolutely! I don't speak any French at all, aside from restaurant menus, but with the translator, I can speak anything!

Absolument ! Je ne parle pas français du tout, hormis des menus de restaurant, mais avec le traducteur, je peux parler n'importe quoi !

绝对! 我不讲任何法语根本, 除餐馆菜单之外, 但是与译者, 我能讲任何东西!

Well, duh, considering what Babelfish does to Russian language, it doesn't. That's not about you, Kayy! :D Sorry folks, but that website is doing awful things to languages, especially non-Latin alphabetical. For instance, they are saying that English language is more "cool" than German, where they mean "cool" like "cool wind" or "cool weather", which are different words in Russian. Creepy! :wacko:

BTW, Kayy, d'you know that we both celebrate the same birthday?

OK, let now Seva be your Babelfish, WOWAYers. How about that:

Ja proste zboznuju Weird Ala, je to asi nejlepsi zpevak a herec na celem svete! At' zije Al Yankovic!

Yep, that's it, along with these ones:

Ñòðàííûé Ýë ßíêîâè÷ (with "weird" as "strange")
Äèêèé Ýë ßíêîâè÷ (as "wild")
Æóòêèé Ýë ßíêîâè÷ (as "creepy")
Ñóìàñøåäøèé ßíêîâè÷ (as "crazy")
×óäàê ßíêîâè÷ (as "weirdo", the first time I saw Al in "The Saga Begins" on Russian MTV)
and many other interpretations of our boy's name. ;)

But hey, does Babelfish have this one:

Ja proste zboznuju Weird Ala, je to asi nejlepsi zpevak a herec na celem svete! At' zije Al Yankovic!

Waiting!

Seva, what language is that? I don't think Babelfish has that language amongst their choices.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!
