 		[QUESTION] Foreign Languages
If people think that some of the responses are regurgitated from the emails sent to the email address then maybe this could help us decide whether they are random combinations or using our emails as building blocks.

Send her an email containing a block of text in another language... I recommend this...

Was ich kann und was ich konnte
(What I can do and what I could do)
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr
(I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas schönes
(Give me something beautiful again)
Zieh mich aus dem Meer
(Drag me from the sea)
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
(I hear you calling Marian)
Kannst du mich schreien hören
(Can you hear me calling?)
Ich bin hier allein
(I am here alone)
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
(I hear you calling Marian)
Ohne deine hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem Ort
(Without your help I am lost in this place)

It's song lyrics, but the important bit is that the words in it are immediately recognisable as german, I see three possibilities...

1. We get a correspondance that has the German mulched in in a way that doesnt mesh.

2. We get a correspondance that has german mixed in that makes sense, or does so when translated.

3. We don't get a response.

Anyway, worth a try?

 		I don't see it harming much. But I also don't see why the SP would be sending us random stuff anyway. And from its messages the stichings all seem to be in the proper contex of the question.
