Re: The dangers of babelfish translation...

Response to Dave Larrington:
http://tinyurl.com/ is your friend.

I disagree, then your objective readers don't have a clue where the
URL leads, which is offputting. I know you can change this by
enabling a cookie on the tinurl wesite, but most browsers now erase
cookies after 1 session, so pointless.

Though there is always the option of writing something like:

(Resolves to streetmap.co.uk). If one is sufficiently paranoid to ponder
the possibility that the OP has actually linked to the Deltic Dick Goes To
The Reeperbahn page, then there is little hope left...

What's wrong with

? Or have I missed a point somewhere along the way?

"I like also the men who study the Great Pyramid, with a view to
deciphering its mystical lore. Many great books have been written on
this subject, some of which have been presented to me by their authors.
It is a singular fact that the Great Pyramid always predicts the history
of the world accurately up to the date of publication of the book in
question, but after that date it becomes less reliable."
