Tova:
Because I was reading through a Pergolesi score, I thought I would provide some more translations that every classical musician should know.

Squiddlywinx:
From Crisis to Crisis? Sounds a lot like DC Comics, doesn't it? Am I right or am I right?

Storel:
Just saw this on Facebook, and had to post a copy here after all the linguistic discussion lately (spoilered for size):

hedgie:
Oh yes, English would probably make the attempt to have it actually written "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" and expect someone to grok the meaning.

EDIT1: and your avatar is from The Wombles?
EDIT2: pretty sure I asked you this before.
EDIT3: also, if anyone's interested, we can talk about ablaut! :psyduck:
EDIT4: also did you know that "!" is a kind an emoticon?
EDIT5: there's a connection between the original comment and EDIT1, which may not be obvious to most.
EDIT6: they call emoticons emojis these days, don't they? what's supposed to be the difference?
EDIT7: probably that they're graphical rather than using punctuation/letters to represent emotions. But fora started automatically replacing stuff like : ) with a graphic two decades before, although you could set your profile on whether that should happen. "!" is just IO with the I on top of the O, with the O represented as a dot. Basically "Yo".
EDIT FINAL: I'm aware of the subtext of the word "decent". I just couldn't find a better one and I'm hoping to maybe reclaim it.
