It's the equivalent of tacking son of a bitch onto the end of an adjective, it's the word before it that makes it a joke or not. Like cheeky cunt/sonofabitch as opposed to stupid cunt/sonofabitch

Well I guess its not that bad. It really tries, but almost to all of the time, it puts sentences out of order when it translates from language A to B.Quote from AshlanderI've used to Google Translate to effectively communicate with Mexicans that didn't speak any English numerous times for work.

Quote from Kieran.Relevant Douglas Adam's quote (Hitchiker's guide) "Meanwhile the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different cultures and races, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."
In reality I guess the first thing would be a lot of translators going out of business. The second would probably be "easier" negotiations both politically and in business but who knows what that would really result in.
It's more accurate to say that translators won't be a job anymore.
And I guess there'd be less meaning to learning a new language by then.
