I wasn't bacon...it was prosciutto.

Prosciutto is a kind of bacon. Upscale delicious bacon.

Just made some alterations above, am sure it's what you actually meant

I like that much better. It makes sense.

That’s great, writing should be enjoyable....except for the times you want to rip your hair out and jump out the window.

I’d love to read it when it’s done. Or now if you want. I’ve helped some folks through the writing process over the years, several have been published. Nasty, harsh world the publishing business is. But if you want feedback I’ll give it, not according to my tastes, but in line with what I’ve learned about the business.

Definitely true about the world of publishing. It's dog eat dog out there.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Both? I enjoy writing, but if I start doing something I want to do it well. Which in this case, to me, would be making it publishworthy.

Writing is work. Good writing is LOTS of work.

Now it's back to not making any sense. Which language are you speaking? Is this Chinese?

 

[AngryHobbit]

Dudes.

Might I approach reverently, sire? I do not know you, but others speak of you as a veritable legend of Martial Talk. I dare not impose.

Published a new story. It's about failed suicide by starvation. It has dogs in it. It's cute. Right, @gpseymour ?

Bacon is bacon...unless it is Canadian Bacon...then its ham...overly salty ham that I don't like either...but still ham...but Bacon...no matter the nationality..... is upscale

No it was English
This is Chinese
培根是邪恶和恶心的

Maybe this will help

Бэкон гнусный и отвратительный

培根是邪恶和恶心的

Maybe this will help

Бэкон гнусный и отвратительный

Нет, бекон прекрасный, вкусный и замечательный.

Бэкон гнусный и отвратительный

Incidentally, a food cannot be "гнусный" - this particular adjective is normally used to describe people or actions.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Very.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Никакой бекон не красив, вкусен и прекрасен..

Fixed that for you....

PFHHT...what would a native speaker know...Google Translate is never wrong

You should see how it butchers Chinese every now and then

If I ever said such a thing, I would have to wonder if I was possessed by some evil demon.

That's why I never use Google Translate for anything contextual or to do whole sentences - only for individual words.

I never wonder about that.

You're missing most of the fun, my dear.

 

[AngryHobbit]

You're missing most of the fun, my dear.

I translate works by great author. Classics. Immortal masterpieces. Would you let Google Translate anywhere near an immortal masterpiece? That's like using Lincoln logs to try and replicate Taj Mahal.
