Sure, Skeeters Are Annoying But...NSFDinnertime

Tilia: in der Umgangssprache, wenn man von "Insektenbissen" spricht, heißt das auch "Spinnenbissen". Ich bin mir sicher, daß auch der Artzt weiß, daß Spinnen keine Insekten sind.

Macht es nicht richtig. Und erschreckenderweise hab ich sogar schon Ärzte getroffen, die Zecken für Insekten hielten.

Natürlich hast recht. Ich hoffe, daß du diese Ärtzte zurechtgewiesen hast.

Wenn sie nicht hat, dann ist sie ein Verräter an ihrem Feld.

Google translate ftw

Hehe.

Tilia, I hope my brusque reply didn't offend you. I was trying to be funny in a punny way. I would have used one of those laughing smilies but I've sworn off them.

Zilch's comment made me think I'd been an ass. Or an idiot. I felt like he was talking behind my back. Right in front of me! IN VIENNESE!

I ran his comment through a translator and this is what came back,

in everyday language, if one of "bites" speaks, hey? t even the "spider bites". I'm sure there? and the white doctor?, there? Spiders are not insects.

If you are going to employ satire (or sarcasm), it is totally unacceptable to use the winking emoticon. The idea is to make them wonder.

Tilia and Zilch were being dicks about it because they are jealous that they didn't get bit by the critter. They are extremely boring people with nothing of substance to communicate except their command of some obscure foreign language.

Hey you were the one with that nasty bite. And all I could do was to act on my silly reflexes...
I wouldn't have done that, though, if I had had reasons to believe you had been in danger. (Damn, I should have listened in school when the teacher told us about English conjunctive constructions. But you probably know what I mean. Give and take a couple of "had"'s.)

It was probably smart of your doctor to give you antibiotics first. Staphylococcus aureus infections are much more dangerous and more common (well, you've probably read the wikipedia article yourself)

What kind of silly translator was that?

Yeah, Google translate made a much better translation, I would guess almost perfect.

in everyday language when we speak of "insect bites", it means also "spider bites". I am sure that even the doctor knows that spiders are not insects.

Nah, I was just a warrior who dreamed he could bring peace.

Omfg. I have no secrets from the F-man. He's got me and the smartass Piefkin pegged down to the ground with railroad spikes.



Beams- I'm impressed with the Google translation: it's perfect. Of course, that was pretty simple stuff.
