The last few days have been awkward for Jenna. Okay, the last week or however long it's been already. She's been trying to keep to the house more than anything lately, especially since the sudden inability of EVERYONE to speak... or even type in English. for the most part, Jenna's been avoiding dealing with the tablets since she found that out, but ( Read more... )

Yes, I speak English.

Oh good. It seems a lot of people have suddenly lost the use of the most common language here.

[text] verylittlesugar May 26 2011, 17:43:36 UTC

I do not know any other language, so I would hope that I do not lose this one.

I can, but I seem zu Mühe haben, an ihr festzuhalten. Ich halte zu sprechen German. ... like that.

( Translation | to be having trouble sticking to it. I keep speaking )

At least you can manage a little of it. Most people apparently have lost the ability entirely.

It' s nicht einfach. Ich muss wirklich mich konzentrieren, um es geschehen zu lassen. ... I mean, I have to really concentrate.

( Translation | It's not easy. I have to really concentrate to make it happen. )

I can tell. Most people seem to be pretty incapable of English.

Are you doing all right with it? Not really the best introduction to Taxon for either of us.

[Oh! English! Good, Wikus was starting to worry he'd never see it again. ...And to think he'd thought things back home were getting weird.

He dislikes typing though. It's frustratingly difficult to do one-handed, and takes a small eternity even without the problem of his fingers wanting to use the wrong keys. But he manages, eventually. Somewhat.]

[ sob. this guy's clearly having trouble sticking to english and that's making jenna's head hurt a bit more than it already was. she waits patiently, trying to figure out what he's getting at. ]

So, like... half the time you can make it English and the rest you have no control over?

Re: [text] willkeeptrying May 27 2011, 17:44:04 UTC

typing yes. spaeking english is onmoontlik. fokking thing. i mnean impossible.

hoekum is they doen this?(translation: why are they doing this - at least that one's phonetically similar where it's not english?)

[He doesn't really expect an answer, but he's hopeful]

I wish I knew. I guess this is a... city-wide "glitch" then?
