I wish I had a universal translator. You know, like the one they use so pervasively on Star Trek. Surely you’ve seen how it works: No matter what planet the starship crew is on, no matter how incredibly alien another species may be, all someone has to do is strap on a translator and everyone understands everyone else perfectly. I mean, how cool is that?
With such a device, all language barriers melt into the ether. Believe me, Google Translate is a far cry from sci-fi…
