I'm trying to translate the Emerson quote:

The sun only illuminates the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child.

I translated it as:

Sol oculum homini solum illustat, sed in oculum et cordem infantis lucet.

Does that look about right? Does anyone have any suggestions for how to improve it, even if it's as simple as changing word order to make it more realistic?

Many ways of spelling with english letters. Could be spelled like this: 'shaqeeya' 'sha2eeya' 'shaqeeia' 'sha2eeia'
Pronounced like this (depending on the Arabic dialect): sha - ee - ya .... or
sha - qee - ya

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.


As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".


In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.


The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.


There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.



In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.


Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.


Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.


By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".


During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.


Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.


Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.


If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

Will they still learn how to be bilingual properly if the mother only speaks her native language to the baby all day until the father comes home, and then he speaks his language to the baby? Or should she try to mix it up? I wouldn't want my baby to learn any mistakes I may make in Spanish, esp since I speak English perfectly. Does it even matter? Help!
