Okay, so posting it here didn’t work. See here for how to embed a twitter feed using JS.

I’m just anal when it comes to accents. Maybe it’s because of Spanish; an accent can change the meaning of a word quite drastically. (I once got into an argument with a québécois friend of mine who thought bâtiment was spelled batîment)

As for translation, don’t worry about it, “n’importe quoi” doesn’t properly translate anyways. I find that people tend to apply the idioms of their native language to translations. One of my favorite examples is (again) from Spanish, with the phrase “pay attention” (prestar atención in Spanish; prêter attention). A lot of people in my Spanish Immersion class would literally translate “pay attention” as “pagar atención” (payer attention). It just sounds so…wrong in Spanish (and indeed in French), but it makes sense in English…

You know, I always thought if you wanted to have your name make more sense, that your avatar should be a Tonberry with Tom Cruise’s face photoshopped onto it.

Hey, I had a hand in creating Trenderman and would like to be sourced on the Slenderman article you wrote. I have the original post and all of the backstory. If we could get in touch somehow so I can pass on information, that would be great.

Gotcha, I changed the “dans le cul” translation since “I’m screwed” makes more sense. Thanks a ton.

Would you mind checking my French translations on this? I did the best I could with what I had (meaning google translate)

No problem at all.

Also, I’m thinking about visiting Seine-et-Marne in the coming months. Have you ever been there? If so, is it nice?

The article as a whole really. But if you could just give me a general idea of where you got your knowledge on the subject of the Rake, that would be lovely. I got saddled doing a speech about the rake in one of my classes and you have lots of good info, but sources. If this is just general knowledge you have acquired by reading up on it and don’t have any source references, then I cite you as a layman source, otherwise, you get expert ;) The rake is a frustrating research subject, as you can well imagine, and I really appreciate you having gotten back to me so quickly. Thank you!

Hey, read the post you wrote about the Rake and want to use it as a source for a speech I’m doing for a class, but I need more source verification and stuff of that nature. Get back to me soon if you can, preferably very soon.

Hey, Tomberry. You don’t have to answer this, considering it’s absolutely none of my business, but why do you hate ponies? Does the show just not do it for you, or is it the really stupid bronies that get to you?

No, I’m not going to try to convert you, by the way.
