#5 First, does anyone have any guesses as to which automated translator the KCNA is using to translate these "articles" into English? (So that I can avoid it in the future)

Second, does anyone want to speculate which language they're translating the original Korean into, before the final translation to English? I'm suspecting either Aleut, Sanskrit, Esperanto, or Fuddlish...

#6 *holds up card* 8.3

...drop a hostile policy toward Pyongyang out of its good faith and magnanimity not prompted by its wish to have its system recognized by the U.S. or to get any reward. Style points missed due to clear grammatical error.

#7 Even in Korean, it's hard to tell what the f*ck they're saying half the time. You know, if they promised to feed me something other than tree bark, I'd be more than willing to do their translation work myself. Figure save the guys at State and CIA the grief.

BTW, watch how many times they use the word "greenhorn" in the next few weeks. I have a feeling it's their colloquialism of the month.
