So many questions Mar 3

Is this a question?
What does it mean?
Do the bride and groom not have a shared language at all? Seems rather difficult.
Or do they get married in a country where one of them (or both) requires an interpreter?
Is the question if it can/should legally replace an interpreter?
Are we language people or are we not even able to construct a meaningful question any more?

meaningless! Mar 3

I'm only assuming such a question is totally meaningless to quite a lot of us. To me it definitely is as I'm old enough never even to have a whiff of a thought about such things. Pathetic! Any question related to our profession?

Marriage via Microsoft translator Mar 4

Someone once opined that if you gave enough monkeys enough typewriters and enough time, sooner or later they would write the Great Books. And sure enough, snatched from the typewriter: "To be or not to be, that is the grfzlplk".
More ridiculous and inane questions from bots which may turn out to be simian. More bananas?

Secret Mar 4

So the secret of a happy marriage is for neither partner to understand the nuances of what the other is saying.

Sounds reasonable.

How did people ever exist before? Mar 4

AI translating Catholic Mass, marriage via Microsoft Translator... This is getting more and more interesting!
Has anyone finally discovered how to make 9 women produce a baby in one month or at least a digital rosary for more efficient processing of prayers, taking into account the high level of repetitions? Uploading one's remains to the afterlife at online funeral, perhaps?
