Inspired by an email I got recently, I decided to ask around to see what other stupid translator errors have slipped through the watchful, and never lazy, eye of the scammer.

Yes. Yes, I'd like a nuclear loan to go. Does it come with napkins? Razz

I'm just wondering if his Thesaurus isn't up to much,
Nuclear meaning 'basic'?

axial, basic, cardinal, center, centric, centroidal, chief, dominant, equidistant, essential, focal, foremost, fundamental, important, inmost, inner, interior, intermediate, key, leading, master, mean, median, mid, middle, middlemost, midmost, midway, nuclear , omphalic, outstanding, overriding, paramount, pivotal, predominant, primary, prime, radical, ruling, salient, significant, umbilical

I'm thinking the lad just took another script and passed it through google translator. I ran some scams that were in Chinese or some kind of language like that, and came out with something very similar, "nuclear" included.

And no, it doesn't come with napkins!

I like this idiot that sent me a dying widow format that started like this

Nuclear meaning, probably, "personal" or "instant", depending on the language from which it was translated. Smile

I love baiting lads through translators. Bonus points if I can arrange it so the lad is translating and so am I. Hilarity generally ensues. I've posted some of the better tidbits here before.

Heh, my lad asked for a registraction fee, which I presumed was a combined fee of registration and transaction. I'm not sure if it was a translation error, but funny, nonetheless.

I once baited one in Spanish who told me to send money to Okor Trabajo Okereke. Before translating, the name was Okereke Job Okor.
