Never trust translators Many years ago I received a friendship request on Facebook from American guy, I was glad that I would be able to try my English with someone who is a native. I wrote to him in the chat : Hello He replied : What's up? I didn't understand what that meant, because everything I Knew about English was what I had learned at school so I took that phrase to translator and I got at meaning something like "What do you want?". In my tongue and even in English I think, when you say to someone "Hi" and he reply "What do you want" that obviously rude and seems like he don't want to keep talking with you. That really angered me and I said to myself what's wrong with this man, then I replied "go to hell" and immediately blocked him. What I am trying to say that is all translation softwares are unreliable because they are not efficient and always make people make mistakes and misunderstanding like what happened with me. . .
