Lost in translation (THANK YOU TO ALL NEW VISITORS)

        When I copied-and-pasted a hundred url’s last December 28 (the top 100 WordPress Growing Blogs of Nov. 22 ‘cuz  the blog was in number 20; I copied-and-pasted the entire list and the source ‘cuz people might think i was pulling their leg in the heading; anyway), the next days and weeks, some of those url’s appeared in my referrer list in the dashboard (which means they, or people who viewed their blogs, visited etc.), i’m not gonna reveal the blog names/  url’s that appeared in my dashboard to protect their privacy, as it is I’m thrilled enough and thankful enough that they’ve recurred now and then the past days, the quaint thing about this is a couple of them are in Arabic and Chinese and linked this blog and I visited theirs and they didn’t have an English translation; quaint because they could understand us but I couldn’t understand them   I don’t even have Arabic and Chinese characters in my keyboard I was thinking if I had those I would manually translate to find out what they were saying, if there’s such a thing as “manually translate”, but no, I didn’t have the letters, I contented myself with looking at the photos and one had photos of a soccer game that had been shown on TV so I figured that’s something we have in common it’s just that it makes you ask, is it an advantage or a disadvantage to write  in English since people understand you but when you visit their blogs you don’t understand them siguro dapat mag-Pilipino rin tayo rito o Cebuano o Ilocano para magtaka rin sila kung ano ba ang pinag-uusapan dito kasi biglang nag-iba ang mga salita mandyak ha-an ko maawatan unsyamani dili man bay lagi ag ko matarusan and I’m not gonna provide a translation of the previous three lines today kasi lugi ako naintindihan nila ko di ko sila maintindihan I’m just kidding I find it rather quaint. I won’t  give legal opinions today, this week or the entire  month, let  staff members of lawyer-politicians or lawyer-politician-wannabes, work for a change.           

    

        THANK YOU TO ALL THE NEW VISITORS AND I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO VIEW!
