... when you get a kick (and a boost of confidence) out of correcting Google Translate.

Yes I'm OK, thank you! Had an unfortunate hospitalization following the storm (not really storm-related, unless you count the stress) but I'm on the mend now. And you know you are a language nerd when you're ill and the doctor asks so, what's the problem, and you look down in embarrassment, hesitate, then stammer: "It's . . . it's . . . (sigh) . . . it's nerdery (flop onto cot). And everyone, doctors, nurses and fellow patients, back away from you . . . No, not that! Isolation! Contamination! This condition is extremely contagious! (I knoww, I should have learned by now NEVER to make jokes!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Just because BYU happens to have a multilanguage Cable TV service too, so I thought it would be the case:) I keep on going through the many channels to until my wife gets sick of it and takes possession of the remote! :( 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Haha, the other day, there was a show about an overweight couple on the German channel and it was just uhhhh neat. See, I wouldn't even watch these kinds of shows on English channels but they are just so much better auf Deutsch. I am glad I am single now, so the remote is all mine, I never let him have control anyway ;) When you are known in your German class as the girl who answers questions no one can answer, seriously, now everyone just looks at me, if the teacher asks something. It is actually rather awkward, because now there is like this implied expectation to know stuff... otherwise I just sit in the back and don't say much, just enough to get my participation points :) When, in your science class, about AIDS, someone mentions the movie "The Gift" and your mind instantly goes to "the Poison" Gift is poison in German, and you actually mentally devote maybe 5 minutes to how that play on words actually fits the original meaning, sharing the "Gift" of HIV with people... 2 persons have voted this message useful |
