Babelfish is CHEATING! I’m so disappointed, **dan!** And here I thought you could actually spell in Italian without the aid of any electrical appliances. For the record, I didn’t cheat. It’s all in the, ummm, head. ---

The proper use of any tongue, foreign or domestic, is an art, not a science. So there are rules, but there is also leeway to bend the rules according to the situation and the audience. ---

Gee, I actually go off to earn some money in the modern way and all the flirting takes place without me ☹ 😉 Dantheman,even if you are unable to look me in the eyes, with your skills I don’t think that would be problem 😛 And as a cunning linquist, you’ll be able to please me intellectually too.

Precisamente, querido. [Are there any languages you can hack without Babelfish? As a linguist by inclination/education, I think machine translation sucks rocks. I’m a purist; all natural for me, babe!] ---

Hmmm… I wonder what a cunning linguist could do with German? I’ve been earning money conventionally as well, but I’ve been flirting also 😛 Oh, and sexual plesing is one thing, but can I play backgammon with you as well? 😉 ---

Well, personally I know a little of a few languages, all Romance languages, naturally. I speak a little Spanish. I couldn’t pretend to understand any other language, though. ---
