that gives me an idea – maybe I should just replicate this post in every language that Google Translate offers… that would take care of at least a month worth of posts 🙂
but that means you’ll have to wait for a post about tires… 🙂

Thanks for the Irish lesson! Could come in handy someday. It makes a great impression to learn a couple of words and simple phases and basic numbers. People never expect Americans to know anything in the local language. Pronunciation is the hard part.

I tried to learn a few different phrases while in Singapore, but there are so many different nationalities, I never knew if I was speaking to someone who used the language I was trying to speak in 🙂

Never trust Google Translate unless you can cross-check it – I’m pretty much bilingual in French after living there for years, and you should see what AI logic comes up with sometimes 😉

it would be fun to ask someone who speaks Gaelic to find out how good Google Translate did. I am sure there are still some glitches… 🙂

It probably didn’t do too badly. If you run it through another translation programme you would probably see 🙂

It’s incredible. For those of us who have lived our whole lifetime thinking of the US as the leading Western democracy it is utterly unbelievable. And he still persists in inciting it by telling them he loves them. The 25th needs invoking immediately.

Dearie me. Reminds me of the Scottish tv in the 60’s and 70’s. The option on a Sunday was one hour Christian worship, one hour review of the soccer results or a half hour of Gaelic news. I opted for the half hour of lilting and shuchting. Thanks for the memories!
