Re: Another mistranslation

H-I wins the prize, and can ask the next question. However, I must say that X Phial has a very cool .gif, so he/she wins . . . . Greek kudos.

The original quote was Gandalf to Bilbo before entering Beorn's house (about not using the word "furrier" etc.), which I translated from english to Russian to Polish back to eEglish, thereby destroying all remaining meaning.
