Wow, I’ve only taken Spanish 1 and even I could translate better than that.

Who said anything about intelligence being a factor? Oh wait, I guess I kinda did, but who gives a f*ck? Its the same way as it is IRL. If you see something being done EVERYWHERE you go, when granted the opportunity, you will want to do it yourself at least once. Why do you think people throw money into fountains with money on the bottom but not onec witout it? because other people have done it and they want to try. It’s a basic human condition. Get over it. This was my first first and I’m sticking to it no matter how much you complain.

Accurate would be about a hundred and fifty kiloPascals, but hey, I’m not at work right now, so let’s change the subject (I do compression tests ALL the time…)

Comprensiòn means to understand.
Compresiòn means to compress.

A simple typo…

Is saying “first” more intelligent than you consider MySypace???
Being happy about writing the first comment is really ok!
But it is only nice if this is a real comment, something creative or intelligent!
Not only that dumb and boring “first”.

By: Marie

Marie — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:46:11 +0000

uh, Apreciamos tu Comprension is We Appreciate your Understanding, i believe (guessing by the cognates) xD but yea pretty lousy job translating, even if its not exactly “Engrish”

By: PointsOutTheObvious

PointsOutTheObvious — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:14:01 +0000

Yes, it’s “we appreciate your understanding” but you don’t need to SAY that. It ruins the lulz.

By: PointsOutTheObvious

PointsOutTheObvious — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:11:42 +0000

Myspace is stupid. Why would I ever use it? And don’t try and say that YOU have never been tempted by an empty comment thread to put a first post. I know you have and saying anything otherwise is entirely hypocritical.

My compression is not to be estimated.

But feel free to go and start a site for the amusement of Spanish speakers, where people have tried to translate signs into Spanish, but have made funny mistakes. Perhaps you can call it the Esspanyol site.

By: Passerby

Passerby — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 02:53:09 +0000

Yes, we who speak Spanish understand that.

I believe those who speaks only English however, will estimate your esplanadetion.

I personally thought the joke had gotten old, and I’d stopped. If, however, you’re just going to flamebait, then I’ll make sure to spray useless health comments after your posts from now on. You might want to rethink preemptive strikes/tantrums.

Did you know that taking 50 mg of aspirin every five hours can prevent motion sickness?

ACCURATE: YES. NEEDED: NOPE.
IT’S FUNNY LIkE IT IS WITHOUT ANY TRANSLATIONS OR EXPLANATIONS.

The funny thing is that the words apreciamos-appreciate and comprension-comprehension are essentially cognates (though understanding would be more frequently used than comprehension)…so this is even a bigger gaff IMO…

“Yeah, he’s at about 45 psi.”
“Is that accurate?”
“Well no its an estimate.”

ok man stay cool!
What you mention was one (1) single action to attract attention to a repeatedly boring dullness.
I had explained it (read it there).
Got it?

They always misunderestimate my compression… But I get back at them. I put food on all their families!

As palsyboy’s official fanboy, I must alert you that by not heeding his warnings you may be reducing your chance of producing sexual pheromones and shortening your lifespan!

Cool.

I wonder when Palsyboy (with his new avatar, ugh) and/or Munior will reply to you. Palsyboy spraying useless health comments and Munior spamming the page with annoying posts. Dudes, get the hints: You. Are. Even. More. Annoying. Than. The. First. Trolls. You. Find. Annoying.

No, this is an ad of a service, which estimate the possible compression rate of an algorithmus.

But the Point in this is: The algorithmus musn’t be executable at the moment – they estimate the compression simply by looking in the code. Nothing is automated there – only real human work.

Sadly, there was no telephone number or adress given. Good luck finding out where they are.

Oh darn-it , they figured me out … i thought my compressions were a secret i only knew … shame on them !!!

‘apreciamos tu comprension’ =
we appreciate your comprehension =
we appreciate your understanding …
thank you for being understanding?

I don’t actually speak Spanish, though I live in NYC which means I see a lot of Spanglish/Spangrish – this sign is familiar in execution if not experience.

It’s been a long time since someone estimated my compression.

I’ll be throwing my food outside the sink now and in addition.

By: Munior

Munior — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:13:49 +0000

So it is requested not simply to throw the food in the sink but to press it in the plug hole with force.

By: Ben

Ben — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:57:27 +0000

But do they guesstimate your expansion?

By: MeowTseTongue

MeowTseTongue — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:34:09 +0000

I heard they are working on an algorithm that rivals winzip/winrar, but it wont be out till spring…For now, they’ll just estimate the compression.

Sorry, always wanted to do that ;P
