現在方便幫我個忙嗎
(Writer's note: Here, I started to get a little suspicious. Almost all my friends know my Chinese is not good, and the only ones who speak to me in Chinese are those who's English is almost non-existent.)
Daniel says: (11:03:34 PM)

Daniel says: (11:06:45 PM)

######## says: (11:08:06 PM)
Help me to buy a few pieces of mycard card is convenient for me
(Writer's note: Now, right about here, it became full-blown suspicion. I mean, this English is pretty broken, even for a Singaporean. And my friend speaks English pretty well. But I decided to play along and see whether he would make a faux pas and prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was not my friend.)
Daniel says: (11:09:27 PM)

Daniel says: (11:11:16 PM)

(Writer's note: I asked the name of my friend, but with a slight misspelling, in case it really was my friend who was, I don't know, intoxicated or something)
######## says: (11:11:28 PM)

######## says: (11:17:49 PM)
哈哈
######## says: (11:17:51 PM)
你吃屎了嗎
Right there, after trying to insult me, he went offline. I say trying because, you know, I was really just toying with the moron, and I wasn't insulted. Well, a bit. If I met him, I would sock him good for that, and then another time for hacking my friend's account.
So yeah. Google translate is a lot better than Babelfish, but seriously, it's not enough if you want to try and pretend to be someone to trick that person's friend.
And yes. I am slightly mortified to admit that right now, my Japanese is indeed, better than my Chinese.
