    Translators rarely get the word order right. It's a bit different in Swedish, as evident in the example above.

    That's because english is structured differently from most other languages. So why'ven't the rest of you bitches fixed your languages to be like us yet?

    We're too far ahead. They can't catch up in time. In a few years, we'll structure our sentences completely backwards, with a lisp.

    Pride in our language aside, it's hard enough to read in middle english.
    If we ever took that step, there'd be kids today that couldn't read articles written only 50 years prior. I'm so glad it was a big joke...

    I enjoy reading the 1611 King James Bible translation.

    What you say is true. It also says 'ass' a lot.
