----- Original Message ----- From: judyastary@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Which bloopers are funny and which are not! I tend to agree with Ora re what is funny and what is just plain pathetic. This year the pressure is on in a big way so I have been less diligent about recording some of the ones that tickled my fancy (as it were!). However, moreover, nevertheless, except for that etc etc, here are a few choice "mistranslations" that I came upon today: - I am studying hospitality. - I will colaborate with other counsellors to investigate our goals and I will manipulate pleasantly with the children. (The mind boggles!) - I am a student in the accelerated English class. - My autobiography is added to this letter. - I can contribute to teaching every kind of sports - swimming, jumping, running, mounting and clumping. - I cook ingeniously. - I'll be greatful if you'll inject me as a candidate at your camp. - I am drifting to the army next summer. - I have a wild experience in many things. - I know how to make fun of many things. Long live the blooping pupil of English! Judy ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
