    Steve, just a thought. Are any of the on line freebie translators (Google, Babelfish, etc.) worth a lookilou as you and Russian Sam attempt to explore the subject?

    Hope so. The chap's work is interesting.

    Either someone was tampering with my comment or I was REALLY, REALLY tired.
    Russian Sam, I'll do better than that with my email!

  5. Default Re: DT OKC Scale Models!

    I use google translate and it works great, even grammatically.

    At least the typo was a word...but that may have been part of the problem, no red underline flag to get your attention when tired...lol

    Wow, a wild night for Steve, probably consists of:

    Multiple committee meetings, Mayor Mick screaming on the phone, development deal meltdown, state legislature doing something. And so on.

  10. Default Re: DT OKC Scale Models!

    Mayor Mick is too genuinely nice to scream. He just voices displeasure.

    How?
    Steve, I have one request. Make questions like:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    etc.
    And I'll answer as best I can in detail. E-mail addresses in the private message.

  12. Default Re: DT OKC Scale Models!

    Russian Sam, I will follow your request.
    I sent an email last night.
    I will send the email again.

    $100 says Russian Sam's English is better than Steve's Russian.

    No offense Steve because $200 says your Russian is better than my Russian.

    For the record, Russian Sam's English may be better than my English.

    Possibly. But in fairness to you, he's also spent way less time being serenaded with Okie slang and dialect. As ya know, it'll wear on a fella after a bit.

    Yeah, but i soon forget my native language!

    Russian Sam, say YA'LL and we will name you an honorary Okie.

    Ya'll instead I'll? I have a book with American slang and swear words. Activly studying...

    'YA'LL' is okie for the plural 'YOU'. We do weird things like use slang to make phrases longer instead of shorter. That and use 'office' as a verb...

    Here's another fun useless fact: Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper, and not coffee and orange juice, are the most popular drinks for breakfast in Oklahoma.

    I would hate to have to learn English if it were not my native tongue (oops, I mean native language) since half of it is idioms. But I do think it is the greatest language in the world because it sponges (absorbs) from all the others to get the good parts. Good luck, Sam, you have a hard row to hoe there... opps, I mean it is not going to be easy.

    Only in the Oklahoma, or in all states? We don't teach this, even in the institutes.

    Pretty much through most of the southern half of the country.
