Success

Thanks, probably

You write it down as best you can. A passing Special Constable taps your shoulder and says, 'We normally write that one down as "Othassassass" - helps if you stay consistent.' He tips his black helmet at you and is on his way.


Failure

The trouble with not sharing a language, or much of anything else
