Erudite points from Larson here. Just a small point on Google
Translate, a friend if mine is a linguistical Scientist, he laughed (
and got a little angry) when I mentioned Google translate, he called
it "brute force" translation, and said that it has single handedly
been the cause of his research Monet being pulled, and that he
believes has put back developments in computing 20 years. Why? Well
it's then when I phased out and couldnt understand a word,. My friend?
Who is fluent in 18 languages, is currently in China researching
verbs.
