I think you want to tell him... Ya Tibya Lablue.... or something like that

The translator came up with this ï Ûюñûю ÒðѠßðшð <-- no offsides I didn't mash the keys in russian this time.

What does it say?

I depends on how well he is faking it, now doesn't it?

And I am still talking like a pirate in the office today... Most common phrases... until I get fired (which is inevitable talking like this:

It says Ya Lyublu vas Pasha. Which is I love you Pasha. It's just that it's more proper to put the pronoun before the verb...if you just say "I love Pasha", that's the correct way because it's a noun not a pronoun, but w/ a prounoun it is more like "I you love" But it makes more sense, because they have a different pronoun form for every case.

That's why translaters aren't always (usually) good

All right I don’t get these things…

Why do bullies act the way they do? Can bullies ever be nice? Why do all bullies seem to be big and strong?

How come some of the animals on Looney Tunes can talk, while some talk very little, and none are able to talk at all? What makes characters like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Speedy Gonzales so special that they can talk all the time? Why does Wile E. Coyote talk very little? Why does the Road Runner not talk at all, other than “beep beep� The logic just doesn’t add up to me.

And on that note, why does Wile E. Coyote fall all the time?

Why can’t skinny dipping be legal?

Why do we call it “flipping the birdâ€Â, when it looks nothing like what a bird would look like when we actually flip the bird?

Did Diddy do it? What did he do? What didn’t he do? What hasn’t Diddy done?

Have we actually been there and done that? Where have we done it? And what is it that we did?

The 'Car Talk' show (on NPR) with Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, have a feature called the 'Puzzler'. Their most recent "Puzzler" was about the Battle of Agincourt. The French, who were overwhelmingly favored to win the battle, threatened to cut a certain body part off of all captured English soldiers so that they could never fight again. The English won in a major upset and waved the body part in question at the French in defiance. The puzzler was: What was this body part? This is the answer submitted by a listener:

Dear Click and Clack,

Thank you for the Agincourt 'Puzzler', which clears up some profound questions of etymology, folklore and emotional symbolism. The body part which the French proposed to cut off of the English after defeating them was, of course, the middle finger, without which it is impossible to draw the renowned English longbow. This famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew". Thus, when the victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated French, they said, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"

Over the years some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this symbolic gesture. Since "pluck yew" is rather difficult to say (like "pleasant mother pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to for the feathers used on the arrows), the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'f', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".
