A little bit of this and that.

About translation:

How can computed grammar become correct on the internet when people hardly use their grammar any more? I think translations by robots must be a lost cause, and assumingly create missunderstandings.

As an example; The word Bra means good in Swedish, while the common word Bra is a short for Brassiere in English. And how many people know the correct word for "Bra" in English or can spell it... (I had to look it up). And what is the "bra-word" in Chinese (Kantonese) or another language? A swear word or worse? How can a robot make a difference between the meanings? Perhaps somewhat by coherance, but still...
Just a thought!

Looking back I can see I have accomplisehed about one blog a year. I'm not promissing anything, but now it is 2011 and I hope there will be something interesting, to write about. It is a bit difficult to please every one when you are bilingual with one leg across the ocean.
Just another thought.

Thanksgiving 2010

Hello! it's me again. In the US it is thanksgiving today, and we are invited to friends for a deep-fried turkey. It is very interesting to try a new method food has been prepared. Well, it is new to me. For safety it will be cooked by the host on the drive way. A bit different from the kitchens oven. Usually I'm not a big turkey fan, but I'm looking forward to this.

Another year, another day

What can I say but nothing more than that this blog has been terribly neglected. Today I am very glad to see all this new features provided, and hope to make a more creative blog in the future.

There is only so much Internet one is able to keep track on, and having both Swedish and North American English as "mother tongues" can become a bit confusing. Eventually I might have to make a choice what language to use. Thank God there is a spellcheck! :), but please bear with me what grammar is concerned.
Thank you!

A forgotten blogg

A year has passed since I made an attempt to start this blogg, but since then life turned in another direction and it is time to move on.
In the meantime I will see if I can find out what is wrong with my computer. It has made it extremely difficult to type any documents.
Am I alone to have this problem, which started just the
other day?

A Small Attempt

Today is the first day of my bloging at Blogspot. And since it is a "spur of the moment" thing, I haven't prepared myself to write anything in particular. We can call this a test.

By the way! Blog is spelled with a single g, but doesn't blogging sound better with two? I am Swedish, and over there they spell with two g:s. I have to figure this one out.
