That is true. One of my friends saw a phrase in Nevok=E1nyi, and finally he said to me "I've given up on looking for an internet translator that will tell me what that means" So I told him what it meant, but, surprisingly, he didn't ask what language it was in. I was glad though, because I don't think I would have been ready to share my secret vice with him (yet anyway). Nicole
