Google Translate can fuck off and die.

Once I have read it I will be more articulate, but the sentiment is unlikely to change.

Okay, I'll confess to being a bit gun-jumpy. What they've actually offered is a his and her towels for languages where this matters - which: fair enough.

I suppose this means that if I plug in "they are a doctor", the translation will be punk in languages where that can't happen.

I suppose, though, if I can be annoyingly theyish in English, I can do the same in other languages - prolly not.
