Hi Rymur30

No. Both your grammar and usage are all over the map, but frankly, this is to be expected when one uses Google translate to translate a dialog such as this.

In the spirit of learning, it might be better for you to attempt your own translation rather than relying on automated translators. Any such attempt could then be submitted to the proofreading section of the site where other members would have an opportunity to correct any mistakes. One word of caution, though: You will often find that anyone of sufficient ability to offer corrections (i.e. a native speaker or intermediate/advanced speaker) will often be unwilling to put much effort into doing so on a text that has been translated by a machine.

By the way, when you do use a machine translator, it is probably a good idea to carefully proofread your original before submitting it because any errors will only be compounded once the text has been translated. More specifically, twice in your original text you used the word "your" when it should have read "you're." This led to some odd sounding translations on the part of Google translate.

Do you mean that Google translate came up with Creo que su mal? (your bad). I like that one. Oops! My bad. - 0074b507, Dec 14, 2011
That's because the English is already misspelled. If you put it right the translator does a good job on that one. - 00e657d4, Dec 14, 2011
