It's hard enough when people write incomplete sentences in English. What are you trying to say to me? You can say it in English, or French, but incomplete sentiments in Bablefish like English to French translations are a waste of everyones time.

It would be very rude of me to start laughing uncontrollably at your comment, so please forgive me for not using terms such as RAOFPMP. Thanks for your patience in this matter, Mr A.    Report
