Gettysburg Address

One of the great things of the internet is that it has made it possible for people of vastly different backgrounds, who otherwise would in no way even know of each other, to communicate, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. Sometimes, due to linguistic differences, a translation program is used. And sometimes, stuff gets sent back and forth through the translation program, until at last all rough edges of the text are smoothed out and an international language is born.

Here is the Gettysburg address, in 'newspeak'.


Four outbursts and there are seven years, our propuseram of parents to the new nation in this continent: the considered (the considered) in the freedom and in the dedicated to the offer, that all men that exports even created became.

Now that when we lent became (it occupied) with the enormous wars citizen. The checks either that the (examined) nations either the considered only of nation and cozy dedicated has (the considered). The asthma, are the bears in a position from to. We - the discovery in an enormous field of fight of that war.

We are part of that territory (the field) the dedicated love the end that for him set that here its remain that you live, given that this nation, will direct possibly be. He - a complete part of the help and arranged, that we ought to do.

Only in (hearing itself) the sense the larger we are not in a position of the dedicated. We are not in a position to the dedicated. We are not to dedicate a position to base. The brave men and killing (is in a position of) living, that was working here, had in it, is far way more high point than our poor authority closed or the dedicated inform far away units. Not that the world will small observe, whatever a lumbar of bill and asthma, that we but do, and is not itself educated ever here, the fez that forget to become, she ishere.

Of that in life the lake has more dedicated possibly the work unoffworked here, and became that they to a liquid here of the present (the truth), the time, noble cozy the progress is. He - more possibly for that, here the enormous problem (the task) the dedicating of begins, that exceeds for that task. He of this observatory (the payment, allowed) we carry the fidelity of murders to these reasons and become risen from that mark, complete of permission, last fidelity. That we wound here the resolution of these murders, is not vain dice. That this nation, in the God, a freedom of birth of news will be. And that I of men govern. The Bykom this is not found in.

Even when he's unintelligible, Abraham Lincoln is still a better speaker than Shrubbya.

"propuseram"? "Bykom"?
Aside from those two neologisms, this could actually be a speech of George H. W. Bush's.

B.O.T.H.,

You should put this up on Mis-Dakdek, along with a peirush explaining what languages/translations caused each bizarre expression.

Have you seen the translation of the Gettysburg Address into "Frumspeak" (in the book of the same name)? Absolutely precious.

Is there an 'antipuseram' or a 'contrapuseram'?
