Hi all,

Sometimes a translation really cracks me up. Rather than looking up a couple of words on
the original page in Spanish, I took the easy way out - googled for the topic,
then clicked "Translate this page". Here's what I got:

Test:  See how much of this Spanglish you can understand WITHOUT clicking on "View original page".

ObConLang: Just seeing a different grammatical structure - even one that one is familiar
with, with the words entirely substituted by those of another language, can
refresh one's vision of what is *possible* in language.

Regards,
Yahya
