A funny thing just happened...We all have a new friend here at Adland, Branka Babic. I hope Branka doesn't mind me sharing this with you. But, Branka's native language is Croatian. I do not speak Croatian very well... okay, Branka will tell you not at all. :) She is very funny and it is from the humor that we share that has prompted me to share this post with you. Branka has renamed me: Jo(k)e. :) Branka is a brave young lady reading/writing posts in English here at Adland. I very much admire her for this. I wish I had that talent to learn other languages. There have been some humorous translations on both our parts in some of these posts. But, there have been some difficult posts for Branka to figure out. So to help US out, I decided to point out that there are some online translators available for those moments of long confusing posts. After I sent Branka a translated message, I realized that in the past while performing some business with scientists from Russia that you have to check these things OR ELSE! So, I checked one of the few free online translators that does English to Croatian. Here is how things went..................... Original Message In English:Hello my name is Joe. I hope you are having a great time here at Adland. There are many wonderful people here to make friends with. Please be sure and invite them to be your friends too. Thank you. Have a great day!Original Message In Crotian:
