Are you good at writing Engrish? Can you help me?
Quick - I need a few choice phrases of Engrish for my nephew. Here are the subjects:

Hair below his butt that he really needs to cut off, and he wants to do it, but he thinks he can hold out for a high bidder (it's very nice red hair).

He has two new ginger kittens, George & Lennie.

The most important one: he's applied for a job at the library. He really needs a job. This would be a good one. He needs encouragement to follow up - dropped off his app a week ago.

(My nephew's nearly 21 and has Aspberger's Syndrome - extremely high functioning in all aspects but socially/societally he's about 12-13 years old.)

Engrish writers, take it away! Thanks!!

1. I am so confused.
Do you really want Engrish? About a job he is trying to get?

(It just doesn't seem like it'd be helpful...)

2. Heck yeah. It's only for him. Something like
the job you are about at the library is liking you and will call forthwithly when you are diligent most excellently

or something like that - y'know, encouragement

it's not for him to send to the library - it's just for him to read and laugh at

:hi:

7. You've got a good start right there
The forecast at the library is favorable side of you, and they will call for you if you promote efforts.

3. Hmmm....
He has hair that needs to cut off. He wants to do it, but he thinks he can hold out for a high bidder since it's very nice and red.


His kittens are named George & Lennie.


He's applied for a job at the library. He really needs a good job. He would like encouragement to follow up since he's dropped off his application a week ago.

My nephew's nearly 21 and...

Oh. I didn't realize that wasn't one of the subjects.

:evilgrin:

4. Okay, here's one:
The hair of the head is of most long size, and of fire. The most fortunate owner of the hair of the head will be he that most graciously compensates the head of the hair.

9. The books you will be bringing back.
All books not bring back are for violation of head book-bringer. Very bad.

Aunt Tu Yu say:

The fortuitous work experience waits for the shorthair lazy butt and returns the job application to the library ingenous young man. Kittens will thank you when they not starve!

12. I like it!
I like that, Heidi. I think I'll add "Parents will graciously be gratitude to shorthair lazy butt when rent is to them."

13. I'll give it a shot
The whispers in the ribrary will blow like a breeze through the hair not haven. George and Rennie wirr dance with joy at his new success.

This post was written for the gorgeousness. The little part that breaks and chokes must be obeyed. Only those who can play with themselves can be left alone to pray with this post.

Anyway... good luck to your nephew. Libraries are special wonderful magical places. Sounds like exactly the right place for him to be :)

Khash.

14. LOL "like a breeze through the hair not haven. George and Rennie"
LOL Perfect! Thanks.

He loves libraries. His mom's a librarian at a school for kids with learning disorders. Would be perfect for their little world for him to get a job in a library. :)
