Please do not write this gibberish in the
Internet newsgroups. No one is going to translate it for you.
By "gibberish", do you mean the machine
specification? That's irrelevant to the
question, of course. Or do you think the
language is "gibberish"? (Wouldn't that be
"Gibberish"?) No, that's French. And sorry, but
you are quite wrong to claim that no-one is
going to translate this: I often obtain translations of messages received
in other languages and attempt to answer them in my own language.
Brian, you need a drink.
Er, I don't need a drink, thanks. I wonder if you
are trying to be unpleasant to me - but I don't
know why you would. Have you perhaps
misunderstood who said what? You need to be
careful if you are not to make unfair judgements.
Or are you just puzzled by my light-hearted
style? (No: surely that would lead you to think I
might already have been drinking?!)
o Noël Chenavier asked a question in French
(though he did provide an English translation).
o Davian ("Urmas") (who appears now to be on
moderation: is this because of his previous
message tone?) described this message as
"gibberish" - presumably because it began in French.
o I supported the original questioner and pointed
out that incorrectness of the claim that no-one
would be prepared to respond to messages in languages other than English.
And I did all this on the strength only of coffee.
