The last time I visited “The Pope Place” was February 23rd. I stated in the blog that I wished everyone could see it in the summer. Well, things are getting a little greener:
Well, today is Day Three and THE FINAL DAY of conferences!
One of the sessions today was about a program the state purchased that allows counties to print out WV forms in a variety of languages to give to parents that are not English speaking. At break, a group of us were talking and my SF (who is a “newbie” on the job) asked:
“Do the counties have to pay to use the program”?
I patiently replied: “No. Remember the guy said the state purchased the program so it is free for county use”.
“Oh, okay” he said. “Hey, I really liked the part of it that let you run off forms in different languages”.
I’m thinking to myself that was the ONLY thing the program did, but I shut up. I figure ol’ SF was suffering from Conference Fatigue. He will build up an immunity in a year or two. He did survive that vasectomy after all.
Anyway, back to the translator program. I turned to the gal beside me and asked her whether she thought it could translate forms into Pig Latin. Well, Imkay got all excited and said she could speak fluent Pig Latin……and she can! It was amazing!
The origins of Pig Latin are unknown, but it doesn’t really matter. It is just plain fun! I even found a website that translates English into Pig Latin just in case the state’s program doesn’t include it.
