I am so sorry I will never do it again I never meant any harm. Oh. Did... did I not screw up? Um. Hi! Do you mind if I keep translating your work from time to time? Maybe I should've asked that first.

Oh you're the best ever! I love that you translate my work. I think it's a great honor that you want to share it with Korean speakers. I was making fun of Microsoft's translation software, which doesn't do a very good job of translating the text back into English from Korean.
-
I'm working on my skills as a translator and I thought your micro fiction would be excellent practice. To capture the ineffable this-thing-ness of such succinct writing is a challenge that's hard to find anywhere else. I hope you don't mind!
-
Not at all, buddy. Please feel free to practice on my work. I'm glad it's useful in that way.
-
There's also that I want to share the fiction, too! I will always include your original tweet so people know where the credit is due.

I'm a fan of "it does not stop big rock" it feels very Dr Seuss.

If only we could stop big rock. That'll always be the dream.

I'm not sure if "the curvature of strangers" is accurate, as I don't read Korean, but I know it sounds hilariously creeptastic in English.
-
That from the original and its absolutely meant to make you uncomfortable.
-
If that's your intent, you accomplished it. For the record, I'm a big fan of lit meant to make me uncomfortable. I also like to write stories that make people uncomfortable, and depressed... despite being a pretty content person, IRL.

Just tried with one of my short pieces into Japanese and back to English. "I think she is thinking about myself because she was alone...The waiter brings the coffee steaming water and the last part of the apple egg into the table, but she does not go." Never seen an apple egg.

I'm curled up laughing at how badly the internet has failed us today.
