Titolo: Ron: Valley Speak

Dear Ron,
I was wondering if you were aware that there is an web site dedicated
to translating any URL of your choice into Valley Speak?
For your edification, should such information not be known to you, the
address is ww.80'
s.com/Entertainment/Valley/URL
It's about as helpful as Alta Vista's on-line translator, but
infinitely more amusing.
I remain, as always, ecc

Dear Ron,
Apologies..that should of course be 'a web site' and it should also
have been ' wwW'.

Hi Bambi,
Excuse my butting in!
Your link didn't work, even when I added another w, but I was curious
enough to do a search of Valley Speak, and found the delightful MUNG
page (Multipurpose Unilateral Nonsense Generator). As well as Valley
Speak, it also translates any web page into cockney, fake German, fake
Swedish, ROT 13, Texan drawl, jive, and a couple of others that I
forget, plus pig Latin (which didn't work).
The URL is 
http://www.illuminated.co.uk/mung/
.
An interesting thing about this site is that they let you look at the
source code they've used; a kind of search and replace program that
generates the "translations".
I tried it out on a shoe manufacturer's page and a poem by William
McGonagall, and the results were hysterical.
Definitely much better than Babelfish.
I remember seeing on sci.lang.translation an example from a similar page
that translates German into fake Swabian; I'll look up the reference if
anybody's interested.

anybody's interested.
Swa·bi·a . "A historical region of southwest Germany that originally
included parts of present-day France and Switzerland".
I don't speak a word of German, but I'm curious: what is the peculiarity of
the Swabian accent? Given that it is possible to explain it to a non German
speaking people.
ciao,
Peltio

Way, Dudette.

Dear Mary,
You are not intruding at all.
The link, as you point out, seems not to be working. This despite...or
in spite... of the fact that, I still got it wrong, even when I posted
to amend it.
It should be....really, really this time...
www.80s.com/Entertainment/ValleyURL
However I couldn't access it either when I returned. I did get through
to 
www.80s.com
from whence  I then made it to the Valley URL Page.
For those hankering for some 80's nostalgia, it's all here.
The site you list is fun. I had not heard of it before.' Thanks for
sharing'.
I remain, as always, ecc.,
Bambi

Dear Peltio,
:Excuse, me...
:What is ROT 13 ?
I have no doubt that others will explain more fully, technically,
scientifically, etc.
When I had Windows 95, ROT13 was an encryption option available for
email and news postings.   I can't seem to find it in Win98 which I
think is just as well.  I am having more than sufficient difficulties
with SCS (Starnge Character Syndrome) as it is,  and do not feel the
need of willingly choosing yet another encryption option.

 speaking people.
It sounds funny to Germans, maybe like an Irish accent sounds to the
English. I don't quite know what the Italian equivalent would be: maybe
a program that translates from Italian to Bergamasco?
I take it you know what pig Latin is as you didn't ask (not the same as
dog Latin).

Aha, here we've shed some light on the SCS. New OS - new bugs.
+AD4-I am having more than sufficient difficulties
+AD4-with SCS (Strange Character Syndrome) as it is,
And it is indeed strange. I found an explanation in a NG, that pointed
straight to the utf-xx character encoding. And I also found, by checking
your header (I hope you will forgive my intrusion in your virtual privacy) ,
that you indeed used that encoding from time to time but not every time the
syndrome showed up. I think that your PC will end up under formaline in a
research lab.
+AD4-Given that it is possible to explain it to a non-German speaking person
I never used 'people' as a singular noun before. First time, first error.
Thank you for your kind assistance. As for the hypenation - I just forgot
it.

Uhei ! ... ma te se brau !!!!
Got what?
I can't tell if you are agreeing with what the sentence implies (I stole it
from a Unix / Linux afficionado's signature) or if you are trying to tell me
how stupid I am to make such comments. ; )
Or what? (I hope it's not the second one...
or I'll have you talk to my lawyers :))) )
Please note that this is a question relating to the language and to my
endless ignorance, not to opinions you have right to foster.
