Welcome. Please take a syllabus and be seated.
Today I'll be discussing some excerpts from the so-called Derp Rosetta Stone. This tablet was used in ancient times to facilitate communication between people and Derps.
DERP- It's not fair.
ENGLISH- I don't like it
DERP- I'm a centrist; you're an extremist.
ENGLISH- I'm right; you're wrong.
DERP- Trust me, I have more experience.
ENGLISH- I can't explain why you're wrong, but you are.
DERP- To be the most successful computer company in the world at delivering the best customer experience in markets we serve
ENGLISH- To stay in business by not selling shitty computers
DERP- Undisputed Marketplace Leadership
ENGLISH- We're #1! We're #1!
DERP- We're taking the company in the new direction.
ENGLISH- Clean out your desk and get out of my sight.
DERP- This will go on your permanent record.
ENGLISH- I am too lazy to give you a real punishment.
DERP- Thank you for you application.
ENGLISH- You lose.
DERP- There are those who say...
ENGLISH- My strawman opponents say....
As you can see, although Derp is quite different from English, the are rules of thumb to aid in translation.
