Pen-Elayne on the Web

Say What?

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of Cockney rhyming slang, Gianna introduces me to Strine. I think my head may explode soon. (I wonder, has anyone made a list of all the translation-into-wacky-speech sites out there? What with Talk Cockney and the Shizzolator and the Splendidiser and, um, this, there must be dozens of fun sites out there based on Nick Donaldson's Universal Translator. Sounds like a job for an enterprising young linguist! Ah, I remember when I was one of those...) Update: Via PinkDreamPoppies at Ampersand's blog, this one translates perfectly good writing into meaningless babble.
