    Bored on a Tuesday night, decided to practice my French. (Oui, je suis parle francais!)
    So I loaded up Google Translate and typed in "Je est parle francais" to see if I had got it right. (the translation is "I speak french". (one meaning, literal translation is "I am talking French"
    So I typed that in and got:
    "I'm talking english (sic)".
    Then I noticed that there was a "Did you mean..." at the bottom for the ç character in the word "français".
    So I put that in and got:
    "I'm french".
    Then I tried "Je n'est parle francais" to see what happened.
    Google popped out "I do not speak french (sic)", the correct translation.
    However, there was another "Did you mean..." with the text "Je ñ'est parle français" (typo, there is no ñ in French.) I clicked on that and got "I'm French". (incorrect, the translation should be "I don't speak French."
    If you have any funny translations, please post them below.
    Also, sorry for lack of screenies, these can all be reproduced on Google Translate (the widget on the search engine, not tested on the website.)
