Most of us since the dawn of the Internet age have received an email promising riches for some reason or other if only we would provide the sender with all our personal information. First of all, the best measure is if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. But another dead giveaway is the tortured spelling, grammar or syntax. Today an email with this classic arrived:
"I have been diagonalized with Breast and Blood disease which has defiled all forms of medical treatment ..."
DIAGONALIZED ????? DEFILED ?????? Really?
I immediately resplended so I could constructionate to help with this misfortunate's plyght.
"defiled" is a strange word to use in that context too. Love these translations that almost make sense, but don't actually succeed in that. Hahahahaha.
