A quick question: what do you call an RSS subscription in Slovak? "Odber"?
jessesheidlower YES:What is perceived as the decline of spelling is just that we see..more spelling by a..wider range of people-Nunberg b.globe.com/z0aTAG

A potential use of private browsing mode: making sure that your youtube recommendations aren't spoiled by checking how Michael Bublé sounds.
@stanicazilina English can get you a wider audience. I'd translate for you for free :-) I really admire what you do.
@stanicazilina Duly added or circled(?) or whatever the verb is for Google plus... :-)
I love this, the logical extension of all distractor-clearing (i.e. ad removing) "readability" bookmarklets: fivefilters.org/kindle-it/
Translation plan: 1. Order translation with ridiculous deadline, 2. refuse to pay due to low quality, 3...., 4. Profit! #xl8
The client did actually find someone who claimed to be able to do it. I guess Google Translate will be getting some interesting queries.
Apparently I'm not a serious translator -- I won't do 11 100 words by 11 am tomorrow. Boo hoo. #xl8

@michalvalasek Came in 96 so I don't know. 96-98 was exciting for a naive westerner though: all goodies and baddies. Maybe if earlier, wiser
@michalvalasek A combination: family reasons (on my wife's side), I'm specialised (translating from SK) but mainly I actually like it as is.
And then I ended up living in an Anti-Havel-land, Meciar's mafia state in Slovakia. But I believed the "real" country had just been stolen.
My reasons are bad though. In the early 90s I was a literature student and the idea of a country where writers mattered still was exciting.
Probably, if there had been no Havel boosting the image of Czecho-Slovakia I'd never have ended up in this part of the world.
Farewell Vaclav Havel. It's a pity you have no apparent successor, annointed or otherwise, an honour reserved for dictators, unfortunately.
