Yesterday, I saw a newspaper headline -- "Police Injured on West
Side", and was thinking, "Gosh, if I were a speaker of Kuuk Thaayorre
or Guugu Yimithirr, I'd think that meant "lo pulji cu se xrani fo lo
za'i cortu lo stici be lo xadni be vo'a" instead of the intended "lo
pulji cu se xrani bu'u lo stici be lo tcadu"
Gotta stop thinking so much....
