Jack Spicer wrote, "generations of different poets in different countries [are] patiently telling the same story, writing the same poem." I agree. Consider, for example, " Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota ," by James Wright , and " A Man Meets a Woman on the Street ," by Randall Jarrell .

Machine translations are useful for getting a general idea about what text written in a foreign language means. However, "general idea" isn't always exactly accurate; the translator literally translates (word for word) the text which often results in grammatically incorrect, if not completely incoherent, text. We've developed Bad Translator to show just how funny things can get.
