I don't do Hebrew, but I could probably make it up.

I posted the h2g2 fantasy football results in French this week, as a spoof eurovision result from the Evertonian jury. Unfortunately, I last studied french when I was 14, and I'm now 21, so it wasn';t all that great. I mean, what the hell is the French for sorry, I made a mistake in the results?

I think that it's probably "pardon, j'ai cre/e tout". But this posting may be removed because of foreign language regs.

Whoops, that was "sorry I made it all up". What it should have been was "Pardon, il y avait un erreur dans les resultats". I think. Possibly there's a gender wrong and possibly this posting will get removed. Or maybe they only remove them if it's all in French or something.

Standardisation. No point in having loads of valuable information if some of it's in a language you can't understand. That would make some areas of the Guide useless to some people.

I said 'don't know why' what you thought I meant 'don't know, why?' but what I meant was 'I don't know why.' smiley - laugh.

Isn't that a paradox? Answering an unanswerable question?

Mostly out of stubbornness. Well actually an unanswerable question might not exist. It's only unanswerable because no-one's answered it yet. Like the question of where disease came from, that used to be unanswerable.

unanswerable I feel has two destinct values, one if unanswerable because of lack of information, the other is more about unable-inormation, if you knew someone that met god or met him your self, that particular question would be anwsered (at least for you)

True. Proving, on the other hand, that you met God, would be another matter.
