It's not easy is what it's not!

What's not easy??

Oops! This was supposed to be a PM

Marky is practicing his translation skills on something I wrote.

I don't whether he's finding translating difficult in and of itself, or my work in particular.

TheEndIsNigh · 18th July 2008, 06:42 PM

I'm sure the problem must be at his end Teresa

Teresa Edgerton · 18th July 2008, 08:21 PM

Well, TEIN, my writing has its little idiosyncrasies. I'm fond of them, and so are enough readers to keep me in "business," but they might make translation a bit harder.

Marky Lazer · 18th July 2008, 09:35 PM

Yes, your writing style is very pretty, almost poetic sometimes, which makes it hard to translate. The literal words aren't really the problem, but getting a similar kind of atmosphere is rather hard to accomplish.

So when it comes down to it, Marky is going Dutch on the allocation of blame.

Marky Lazer · 18th July 2008, 09:58 PM

I can't recall whenever I blamed anyone for anything.

Ursa major · 18th July 2008, 10:01 PM

Then perhaps I should have used the word "responsibility"; oh, and added at least one smiley.

Marky Lazer · 18th July 2008, 10:05 PM

Still! I'm only telling what a great challenge it is! Ain't never said no word like blame.

Teresa Edgerton · 18th July 2008, 10:17 PM

I imagine Ursa was just stretching things a bit in order to get in the pun, Marky. When he is in that humor (and when is he not?) we must bear and forbear.

Anyway, thank you for calling my writing style pretty.

And so ends another episode of Paddy Edgerton.

Tune in next week when we'll hear Marky say: "I swear I had underwear on when I left the house!"

Marky Lazer · 19th July 2008, 09:43 AM

That's a lie! I only wear underwear indoors!
