II. Their business is to publish. Mine is to let people know how they do it. And, possibly, get published as well. ( Dedication to poetry.com).

Il loro obbligo e' pubblicare, Il mio - lasciare la gente sapere come lo fanno, E, possibilmente, far pubblicarmi anche.

Yikhniy biznes- publikuvaty. Miy- daty lyudyam znaty, yak vony tse roblyat', i, mozhlyvo, takozh publikuvatysya.

Ikh biznes- pyechatat'. Moy- dovodit' do ponimaniya lyudyey, kak oni eto dyelayut, i, vozmozhno, tozhe pyechatat'sya.

Well...sometimes members just post few things and sometimes members explain the purpose behind doing so. In both cases, we need to decipher the purpose of the written text. I am sure we could do the same here. Perhaps, the poster wants to compare how few phrases are written in different languages and that is legitimate!

Well, if one cannot understand , then one asks, or reads:'Translation of Jokes- 'Just jokes'-
they have been translated , or , better to say, rendered into other foreign languages'; plz, also note the special signal - 'play on words'.
Thank you. It's nice to know I am not the only person who can be inattentive.
Sincerely, Ivan - arrogancia non captat (Ivan)

a thank you to the one who has understood Aug 24, 2007

Dear Mr Roomy Naqvy:
Thank you for the support (this time) - it was ' a play on words' and ' a translation of jokes'. Well, I do believe that could be more to the liking of the Public than the poems.
Wishing all those who understand and who do not understand (but try to) all the best- inspiration first of all.
Scribemus, traducemus et rispectamus! (Ivan Petryshyn)
