I know I said I was going to bed. But who could resist...

Google in Walloon!

Now, if only I could find a good Walloon-English dictionary....

Don't show that to walloonphobics (despite the simple name, it's the real term)
And google has loads of languages, that it's a joke.
I mean, "Elmer Fudd", "Bork, bork, bork!", and your all time favorite, hacker ;)
Even Esperanto. Whee~

Interesting. You can see a Flemish/Dutch influence on the language (which is inevitable I guess) but it's still recognisably a French derivative.

I didn't know (until this week) that your heritage was Walloon-Belgian, I thought Flemish-Belgian for some reason. Maybe from when you were talking about doing a university exchange...

*laughs*
I changed my prefs to show hacker language, and had a hard time changing it back. My comprehension of 1337 is not all that good.
Then I had the bright idea to search in ig-pay atin-lay. I decided to search "google (oogle-gay)" negleting to remember that the language you search in does not pertain to the search results.
*gouges eyes out with blunt spoon*
Quite literally, OOGLE GAY.
