Här är en länk till en artikel som torde intressera vår tyska vänner i den här tråden: The Awful German Language, av Mark Twain. Rätt kul läsning, i synnerhet om man har läst lite tyska, men jag skulle tro det kan vara skoj även för er som inte kan något alls om språket.

And that's the last time I ever try writing Hebrew here- just getting the punctuation to stay in the right place is a nightmare! This forum is clearly not designed to support foreign languages.

Why don't you write it in a paint program then attach it to your post

Right, write it in paint and do the "flip horizontally" thing, if it only does left-to-right writing as well.

Een greep uit mijn favorieten... zijn dit nu echte, bestaande Zuid-Afrikaanse woorden of heeft iemand mij voor de gek gehouden?

lugwaardin
hysbak
flaterwater
kroostrooster
eetplek
kykweer
vlugtamheid
spoedhobbels
Haha, nee nee... al woorde wat ek nie ken nie is "kroostrooster" (kroos=offspring, trooster=comforter ?) en "kykweer" (look again?)

lugwaardin = air hostess
hysbak = elevator
flaterwater = correction fluid
eetplek = place to eat
vlugtamheid = jetlag
spoedhobbels = speedbumps

Aha, dus kykweer (herhaling op tv) en kroostrooster (baby-sitter) bestaan niet... jammer, 't zijn best mooie woorden.

Kielie... misschien kietelen?

Now let's see here.

Ich spreche und verstehe ein bisschen deutsch und holländisch (my old german teacher and my belgian/dutch ancestors is going to kill me for that).

Men det var faktiskt 7 år sedan jag läste tyska och samtidigt lärde jag mig några enstaka fraser på holländska. Grammatiken lyckades jag aldrig lära mig helt

EDIT: Hoppsan, glömde att det var fler nationaliteter här. Suomen kieli olla mahdoton (that was probably even more wrong, he he). En norrman bjöd mig på brus och is när jag var i Danmark senast. Det var förvirrande i början för en svensk, ha ha.
