Default Babelfish spelling

Way OT, but you started it. A 9/20 post requesting translation fron
Spanish, which apparently translated to about "mail server won't
accept this".

Then some of you posted about Babelfish. And Bablefish. And
Babbelfish. How can I learn of this heretofore unknown thing, if you
can't spell it for me?

Brad Snow had some very interesting
things to say about Babelfish spelling:

The spelling in the subject line is correct. For an explanation of the
name, read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". :-)

I was the one who posted this message. Babelfish is correct. You can
also find a similar translation tool at
http://www.worldlingo.com/products_s...ranslator.html.
I like the worldlingo translator as it seems to do a better job than
babelfish.
