so you know how I like The Sound of Silence and post...

asks what the heck a silky whisky is. Whoever wrote that lyric has never had whisky. (or we don't have enough experience between the lot of us).

well, Google Translate probably hasn't drunk any alcohol whatsoever...

Well, true...

Though... Sometimes it seems like it probably has. Mind you. Last I looked, don't even try Chinese poetry in Bing Translate. Google doesn't do a great job, but at least it's understandable. Bing (just Chinese to English) it is probably worse than this.

JessicaKoala : Google Translate is just a drunk person playing pranks?

Sometimes...

Actually, a lot of the time, it's enough to be able to understand. At least, if you don't do, "English>French>German>Esperanto>Korean>English"

maybe there's someone at Google who sneakily turns off the algorithm and just types random stuff, sometimes...

people still learn Esperanto?

In fact, it is usually enough to understand. Otherwise, "English> French> German> Esperanto> Korean> English"

Jes

is that Esperanto for "JessicaKoala?"

No, Esperanto for "Yes".

Said much the same way.

so in Esperantoland, you'd be Yes-icaKoala?

With the J letter it would be a Y sound (like yes, not like Yli-Rasku) but it could be "Ĝ" could be used to get the similar sound as the "J" in Jessica. But the "i" in Jessica isn't really available at all.

cheapskates! Why wouldn't they pay for an "i" sound?!

Yeah...

Well, short i...

Long I is there.

This is awesome!

I kind of like Gradually Watermelon:

Google Translate Sings: "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran

Esperant-no!

"I like shapes."
