Dear Log,

An error message I got today: "Esta página usa quadros mas seu navegador não aceita quadros. Puta merda, atualize seu Navegador."

Translation: "This page uses frames but your browser doesn't support frames. Fuuuuuck, man, update your browser!"


I hesitate to ask...

But I just can't resist... what were you browsing, and what were you browsing it with? :-)

http://www.yuppie.com.br/, and I was basically running lynx -dump http://www.yuppie.com.br/ to get the text content.

Using Spanish knowledge to translate Portuguese only goes so far. It appears that "aceita" means "supports", not "oils".

I'm reminded of Mario Pei's story about his Italian-speaking uncle trying to order eggs and butter in a Spanish restaurant and asking for something like burro's eggs.
