Hello all,
I would like to request the creation of en-us-jwales: and en-us-node:
for the two separate varieties of American English known as "Jimbwian"
and "Nodelish".
Although they are very similar, there are some important differences.
Some examples:
Jimbwian: "My name is Jimbo Wales."
Nodelish: "My name is not Jimbo Wales."
Jimbwian: "I am the founder of Wikipedia."
Nodelish: "I am not the founder of Wikipedia."
Jimbwian: "I am married and have a daughter."
Nodelish: "I am a single teenager."
Unfortunately there is no 1-to-1 correspondence between Jimbwian and
Nodelish, so machine translation is impossible.
Mark
