About a month ago I received the below e-mail under the subject heading Improvisacion…
Pablo, ayudame por favor. Tengo un amigo que se llama Richard D—–. Es un escritor maravilloso, te lo juro. Se que eres un editor, y pienso que deberias ayundarle. Sin duda tu tiempo es precioso en tu empleo. Pero tu y el tenias sangre Española, y tambien se que el te respeta. Y ademas es un hombre tremendo. Por favor, hazlo por todos los escritores que has conocido que estan buscando la luz en un mundo de obscuridad.
Tu Mejor Nuevo Amigo,
Rico C——-
This is how it is translated by the computer… with the subject heading Improvisation…

I let that e-mail stew in my in-box for a month before I finally gave in and accepted that I could not write a fluid response in Spanish. Below is the English language e-mail I sent Rico.

WTF??? Dude you need a Dell!lol I love the fact that apparently tambien translates tambien in English.lol Just to shine him on you should have put in, “Y tu mama tambien” which means, “And your mother, too.”lmao
But very nice of you to give him your agent’s address like that. At least he knows you’re trying.

I started making changes with the translation, but I thought loyal readers would get a kick out of it.
