If you have three halves of an accent, I wonder if people can still understand you. :P

I don't get it, and I assume I'm not the only one here who lacks Hebrew. Explanation please?

Efshar means is it possible, which is what is said when ordering, basar is meat, adam is man.
The word I was looking for was adom which means red. Or more accurately "Efshar bakar" which is cow meat.

I just realized this will be a double post, but they're about half a day apart and on different things, so...

A few minute ago, I saw someone saying "All publicity is good publicity." Now, that is plain false, unless you're a figure like all those pop singers who seem to live off their scandals. So I retort: "All good publicity is good publicity."

Seconds later, I realize this sounds awkward and useless, and jokingly add:

"You can never go wrong with a tautology."

Looks like they do, well most of the time. How? I've got no idea. Therefore, I shall restraint myself from speaking English as much as possible.
Hey I just got a thought, what if someone or some people, who posts a lot, restraint themselves from speaking English and speak a foreign language for a whole month? That'd be fun to see, except that their posting rate will sink enormously.

Печатать на иностранном языке не сложно, но как на счет тех кто не понимает выбранного языка?

They'd have to go through the Annoyance of finding out exactly what the other person is saying. It's all in good fun, especially during debates :P

Edit: What do you say? Are you up to the challenge? I'd do it, but the only language besides English I know is Spanish, which is my native language, and it wouldn't be fair.

Я думаю "дебаты" не чуть от этого не изменятся. :) (I don't think that would have any effect on "debates". :) )

EDIT: Russian is also my native language, but I haven't written anything in Russian in about 10 years. However, since I don't have Russian keyboard, typing in Russian is quite painful. (I have to select letters 1 at a time from character map.

Trying to render polytonic Greek in UBB just about makes my brain hemorrhage. Awkward transliteration is best, as far as I'm concerned.

As a group, we already make little enough sense... switching the languages up would just make it worse.

Auch wird es nicht genug Spass machen, Deutsch zu sprechen.

Yo no sería muy bueno en hablando español en la vida diaria. Sin embargo, probablemente no afectaría mi tasa del poste aquí mucho tan largo como hay traductores en línea para utilizar. A español y apoya.

Ich denke das es ist besser English zu geben, wann Sie andere Sprache schrieben, so all leute kann Sie ferstanden.

(I think that it's better to give English translation when writing in other languages, so everybody can understand you.) Apologies for all the mistakes I've probably made in that sentence.

If you also include the Google translation, that could make things even more interesting.

Good point, though. All I said in the previous post was "And it wouldn't be too much fun to speak in German"

Try going to your "view" menu, down to "character encoding" and messing around with the options there.
