No S Translates!

Post by reinhard » Wed Jun 08, 2005 7:15 pm

I guess I shouldn't have made that crack about non-native English speakers...

No mere blog here, my rabbi father in law tells me this is a leading Israeli newspaper:

He says it basically translates just the rules and says "this sounds better in English."

My norwegian is a little rusty:

And No-s is really big in Japan, it seems (at least from the number of referring sites, no idea what they're saying):

And this was all just yesterday!

Wow, Reinhard, thats totally awesome! You know you've hit the big time now. You're bona fide international, three continents and at least 4 languages! Woo hoo!

You're sitting on a gold-mine. The internet has procured for you a ready-made customer base. To paraphrase an old movie cliche..

"write it.. and they will come." :D

:!: If you don't write it soon, someone will 'paraphrase' the No-S concept and write it for you. Except you'll get none of the credit, and more importantly, none of the cash!
One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness. - Imagawa Sadayo (1325-1420)

Reinhard,

You'd better get ready. I think you're going to need an agent....

Very cool Reinhard! :wink:
(I just wonder what the heck that large weird plaid colored condom-looking thing is on the Norwegian site...)

Enjoy your "Man of the World" status! Yay NoS!
Love,

Wow. I can't read any of those sites, of course, but CONGRATS! You're a worldwide phenomenon. :D But I'm with Deb -- what the heck IS that plaid condom-shaped thing on the Norwegian site?!?
