Isn't it amazing what different dialects of the same language can bring? What I find most interesting is not just individual words, but idioms and phrases within the language. What I find most amusing is when you translate a phrase verbatim from one language to another, the meaning is gibberish or insulting. It makes me wonder about some of the translation programs for computers really work in an attempt to create the ultimate Douglas Adams' babelfish.
