Now we have a bunch of expert linguists who learned everything they know about language, old and new, from their good friends at google and wikipedia who for the most part probably never heard a word of yiddish in their life. Which brings us back to this thread and the question why an Asifa addressing the use of the web, whose content in english is far greater than its yiddish content, resulting in a requirement of at least a passable command of the english language, was given over in yiddish, especially when a good percentage of those in attendance don’t speak any yiddish.
Speaking of yiddish, don’t rely just yet on the folks from google to translate anything from english into yiddish, the folks at google might want to hire a few yiddish speakers first. “Hello” translates as “a gut yur” and “aunt” as momma.
