1. Why not translate "no" into Spanish, while you're at it?

7. ME too! I thought it was an elaborately contrived hoax,
but it's the real thing. I'm really impressed. Here's the red-neck version of DU:

By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: January 2, 2005

WASHINGTON, Jan, as enny fool kin plainly see. 1 - To show thet President Bush kin fu'fill his campaign promise t'cut th' deficit in ha'f by 2009, White House officials is preparin' a budgit thet will assoom a significant jump in revenues an' omit th' cost of majo' initiatives like on overhaulin' Social Security.

To make Mr. Bush's goal easier t'retch, administrashun officials haf decided t'measure their progress aginst a $521 billion deficit they predicked last February rather than last year's acshul sho'tfall of $413 billion, as enny fool kin plainly see.

By startin' wif th' outdated projeckshun, Mr. Bush kin say he has already redooced th' sho'tfall by about $100 billion an' claim vicko'y eff'n th' deficit falls t'jest $260 billion, as enny fool kin plainly see.

But White House budgit planners is not stoppin' thar. Administrashun officials is also invokin' oppimistic assumpshuns about risin' tax revenue while excludin' costs fo' th' wars in Iraq an' Afghanistan as fine as trillions of dollars in costs thet lie jest outside Mr. Bush's five-year budgit window.

Mo'e...

8. Here's the "How It Works" from his web page:
http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/works.shtml

I was so impressed with it that I signed up for a year ($35). This gives me full usage, without the ads, and with some bonus features. What I'd REALLY like to see would be a standalone version to load into my computer. I'd pay up to $30 for that.
