Tweed Chicken rude and unreasonable I had a few of those when I was breeding rare breed fowl. Some of the boys were very aggressive and certainly met the rude and unreasonable criteria ;-) I hope you enjoyed the post. Tweed |

Just to say I'd have an attempt. she fell about laughing. Lovely mother, who I've met (who doesn't speak English) has also tried translation services from her to me. Incomprehensible. |

I have no idea whether it's true or not, but I once read that one of the earlier translation computer programs was used to translate "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" into Russian, then back to English. The result was "The vodka is good, but the meat is rotten." Joy |

That makes me think that maybe the sign language translator at Nelson Mandela's memorial service actually works for Google. |

I had said exactly the opposite of what I intended. MaryL |
