Dumb hacker

So I had not logged onto MSN Messenger in quite a while, and then when I log on today, I get into this conversation with a friend I haven't really spoken to in a while.. To keep the identity secret, I've blanked out the name of the friend:

######## says: (11:02:45 PM)

在嗎

Daniel says: (11:03:00 PM)

yup

Daniel says: (11:03:01 PM)

what's up

######## says: (11:03:12 PM)

在嗎

######## says: (11:03:21 PM)

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)

english pls

Daniel says: (11:03:40 PM)

you know my english is better than my chinese

Daniel says: (11:03:49 PM)

and my japanese is now better than my chinese too

Daniel says: (11:03:50 PM)

haha

Daniel says: (11:03:51 PM)

but sure

######## says: (11:06:24 PM)

Now convenient do me a favor

Daniel says: (11:06:45 PM)

what favour

######## 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)

what's that?

######## says: (11:10:41 PM)

Taiwan 7 and 11 family ok Lyle rich some sell

######## says: (11:11:02 PM)

With the clerk said to buy mycard card = m CARDS they will understand

Daniel says: (11:11:16 PM)

wait, this is AAAAAA right?

(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)

Would you help me buy some Taiwan friend zhang

Daniel says: (11:13:12 PM)

did you even get the right person?

######## says: (11:13:42 PM)

Is not the only trouble you

######## says: (11:13:55 PM)

Can help I think the way to trouble

Daniel says: (11:13:55 PM)

AAAAAA?

Daniel says: (11:14:23 PM)

######## says: (11:14:35 PM)

He didn't online

######## says: (11:15:15 PM)

Can you help me to think the way

Daniel says: (11:15:39 PM)

wait wait

Daniel says: (11:15:43 PM)

######## says: (11:16:13 PM)

嗯嗯

######## says: (11:16:17 PM)

Daniel says: (11:17:28 PM)

get off my friend's account you stupid hacker

######## 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.
