language skills

So Michael is advancing in his language skills so fast that I can barely keep up. He really likes Shrek - he thinks the little toy we got at McDonald's is quite fantastic... it says three things... a bulch or fart.. not sure which and 'I'm on it' and 'I'm an ogre' he is saying both. Yes it is a little blended together - but he is definitely saying it - I got him to say 'love you' and then he has an assortment of words - hat, cat, dog, meow, hello, bye, (doesn't like hi), kyle, mom, dad, daddy, bear, - ok I could go on and on... It is pretty funny seeing him say I'm on it... he doesn't know what it means and just likes to say it.

He was 17 months on Sunday.

That is great that Michael's language is developing so well. I was thinking that Wyatt was only saying a couple things, but he has a dozen or so words, mostly animal sounds though... LOL. He doesn't seem that interested in saying much yet. His vocab thus far is; mama, dada, bama (Gramma), dog, quack, baa, toot toot, dude, back, five. Reading that now, that is a very odd assortment of words... His cousin just turned 2 this week and is really starting to talk. Her lastest one is saying Wyatt's name, but she can't get the Wy part, so he is Yiyatt. I guess this morning in the barn, she was walking around going "where's Yiyatt, where's Yiyatt???" They are pretty good little buddies.

I have a wierd note from someone on Facebook today and am wondering if you can place this person. Her name is Dawn Link. You can look her up on Facebook as her picture is pretty clear. Anyway, she sent me a note basically saying how great it was to see me on there, what have I been up to etc? And I have no idea who she is. It says she is from Quesnel..... Any ideas?

I totally recognize her - I just can't think of her last name. I'm in Kelowna today and home tomorrow - I will check my yearbook when I get there.. she hung out with... ok great - this second my mind is blank... wait - Darci Paull and Paula Aspen... and then one of that groups nicer ones... and her name is definitely run away from me. I will check when I get home though...

I will have to try and search out my yearbooks too. I have no idea where they are since the move. It is just wierd that she wrote this super friendly note all excited to find me on there, and I have NO idea who she is. She looks a bit familiar, but the name Dawn isn't. I can only think of one Dawn from school and we went to elementary school together and it isn't her!

I agree of the importance of adaptation for marketing and advertising material for global audiences, however, I believe a qualified translation team with the proper specifications would create a superior product than people without the linguistic background. The ideal situation would be for the message to be professionally translated and go through a technical review phase to make sure both the linguistic and localized needs have been met. I research Quality Translation Services through my work on standards.
