"we goona highway to hell... and nobody can do something^^
what is wrong with me, us all here... i don' know... cup with me i have holyday!!"
Everyone I know swears he used Babelfish, but it's hard to say, considering the decline in the quality of grammar, sentence structure and spelling in the past decade, especially in younger people. This particular comment was found on a video about the aftermath of the Columbine Highschool Massacre, and judging from the content of the message, I believe he is trying to this:
"What is wrong with humanity? We're all going to hell, and nobody can do anything. ^^
What's wrong with all of us? 'Sup! I'm on holiday!"
This man obviously does not know when it's appropriate to use cheerfulness or morbidity, but that can also be chocked up to my poor job at "translation." So, I've said what I wanted to say about that for now.
As a closing note, I want to show you what happens if I translate my interpretation of the commenter's message from Japanese back into English in Babelfish:
"Somewhere humanity is not strange, is? We are everything which has done to the hell and who somewhere our everything which cannot do with ^^ necessarily is not strange, is? ' Sip! As for me there is a holiday!"
We are everything which has done to the hell and who somewhere our everything which cannot do with, indeed.

Between the neo-Nazis, teenagers, and morons (sometimes a convergence of all three), I HATE YouTube comments.
Neo-nazis AREN'T morons?
I've tagged you! Don't worry, it's not a cutesy one like "If I was a fuzzy forest critter, what would I be?"
Yes, youtube doesn't exactly attract the world's most intelligent people.
The other thing I noticed is spelling these days is even worse than when I was growing up. The funny thing is I used to be a spelling Nazi. When I was your age, I'd correct the spelling on my teachers' assignments then hand them back to them. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly liked by some of my teachers.
Oh boy ZS, I've done that. Good to know I'm not alone. :D
