Johnny Karlsson Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 My German isnt great, but isn't Ersatz also substitute? And also, if I may, the Swedish sentence in the end there is a bit wonky. It should say "Acceptera inga mackor" or something. On the other hand, over here, we're happy to get any food at all on these lowball shoots "Acceptera inga subbor" kanske haha... Perhaps just me, but I kinda think it's cool that it's wrong. There is some very funny stuff that comes out of mistranslation, perhaps in part thanks to Google... http://www.engrish.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 This is not proper Dutch, the good phrase is already on the shirt. Apologies. 2nd Generation Australian, trying to learn from a very old phrase book. I used a verb, not a noun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 "δεν αποδέχεται καμία υποβρύχια" It's doesn't make sense in Greek but I love it! Υποβρύχια = Underwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John We may send multiple T's to a British dealer, and let them distribute them. That would save us postage.($$). Who's your dealer? Also, will follow up on Latin. Should have done it on the first pass. D'uh! Best, Larry F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 That's just correct grammar: http://en.wikipedia....marine_sandwich I've always heard them called subs and not submarines though it was obvious they were a diminutive of submarine. OK, now we just look for the words for submarine and don't worry about names for long tubular sandwiches. Best, Larryf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Postage to the UK is about $10. For the quantity involved so far, we will just eat it in the interests of getting the message out and yes, there is a message. We have mailed out about 53 in the last three days. We sent out 50 in the weeks before that with 100 more going to two different barbecue get togethers on the East and West coasts. And since I haven't mentioned it lately: Thanks again and tip of the hat to Marc Wielage for creating Sound Mixer Hell. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6807847/sound-mixer-hell Best Regards, Larry Fisher Lectrosonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hmmm barbecue is good - can you elaborate? A dealer on the East coast had a get together a week ago and a sound mixer on the West had a get together a month ago.
