Isn't this a great way of reminding those of us whose primary language is
English what it can be like to try to follow a newsgroup written in a language
other than one's native one!
This is what I think Ben wrote:
One must be careful about getting into discussions in a language that one
doesn't have total command of-- it can be like trying to control a dream--
complicated by the mixing up [of languages].
Anyway I thought I would test to see who was following lugnet.loc.de. [I had
major trouble trying to translate the preceding sentence-- I don't think it is
correct.] Looks good. Good enough, at any rate.
See you Saturday in Gunzburg!
Play well! [This is the only sentence I'm certain is correct!] :-)
To the native speakers of German in loc.de:
My apologies if I made a total mess of the translation. It was
much harder than I expected! When you post in English you make it
look so easy that we sometimes forget that English is not your
first language.
And now that I have so rudely intruded upon a thread which was no business of
mine in the first place, I shall, with further apologies, extricate myself--
Maggie C. (who could not figure out how to type the umlaut) :-(
