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).
