red slime cave :D
LOL
Well we Americans have butchered the English language so bad thats I don't see how anyone can complain about it anymore. Sure I still believe that proper usage makes for better communication. I was just saying he was making a limited attempt with what he knows.
The grammar and word choice of automatic translation programs is always good for a laugh. "Sie Burschen", lol!

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
LOL!
Yes they make some weird choices when it comes to what is used. Even when I turn things into English they come out alot different then I suppose there meant to. It makes me wonder how much has been lost in the meaning of many things after the have been translated from language to language and then again.
The main reason automated translation programs give out quirky results is the unique sentence structure of the English language. No other language has it's structure, making it difficult to learn. The other problem is the sheer volume of words that the english language has. Many words have multiple meanings, and you have several words that mean the same thing.
Also, I wasn't specifically referring to Strump. A few of his friends were using bad English as well. In the future, I'll try to keep those comments to myself. Unless someone happens to be using improper English on purpose.

Also note that the english grammar is extremely simple compared to other european languages. English sentences are always strictly subject-verb-object while you can arrange the sentence elements in a German sentence in (almost) any order you like but you have to watch out for some traps while doing so.
Many european languages also differ between different kinds of objects (most enhirited this from the latin language). Finding the correct equivalent for an english object in a foreign language is quite hard for an automatic translation program.
They also have trouble guessing the proper honorific form for the target language (In many european languages, like German, French or Spanish, you use different grammar and wording when talking to strangers than you use when talking to friends. On the internet, by the way, you always talk to people in the "friend" form.). But I have to admit that this is a really hard task for an automatic translation program because the english language doesn't do this and thus you have to guess the appropriate form from the context - something even real translators have problems with from time to time. I can only guess how inappropriate automatic translations into languages like Japanese are where you have dotzends of different honorifics.
