Columbia University's <a href="k95.html">Kermit 95</a> terminal emulation

This, however, is a Web page. Some Web browsers can handle UTF-8, some can't.
|
|
54
|
+
And those that can might not have a sufficiently populated font to work with
|
|
55
|

(some browsers might pick glyphs dynamically from multiple fonts; Netscape 6
|
|
56
|

seems to do this).

<li>The "I can eat glass" phrase and initial translations (about 30 of them)
|
|
424
|
+
were borrowed from Ethan Mollick's <a
|
|
425
|
+
href="http://hcs.harvard.edu/~igp/glass.html">I Can Eat Glass</a> page
|
|
426
|
+
(which disappeared on or about June 2004) and converted to UTF-8. Since
|
|
427
|
+
Ethan's original page is gone, I should mention that his purpose was to offer
|
|
428
|
+
travelers a phrase they could use in any country that would command a
|
|
429
|
+
certain kind of respect, or at least get attention. See <a
|
|
430
|
+
href="#credits">Credits</a> for the many additional contributions since
|
|
431
|
+
then. When submitting new entries, the word "hurt" (if you have a choice)
|
|
432
|
+
is used in the sense of "cause harm", "do damage", or "bother", rather than
|
|
433
|
+
"inflict pain" or "make sad". In this vein Otto Stolz comments (as do
|
|
434
|
+
others further down; personally I think it's better for the purpose of this
|
|
435
|
+
page to have extra entries and/or to show a greater repertoire of characters
|
|
436
|
+
than it is to enforce a strict interpretation of the word "hurt"!):

In the Romanic languages, the variations on "fa male" (it) are probably

509
|

wrong, whilst the variations on "hace daño" (es) and "damaĝas" (Esperanto) are probably correct; "nocet" (la) is definitely right.

The northern Germanic variants of "skada" are probably right, as are

the Slavic variants of "škodi/шкоди" (se); however the Slavic variants
|
|
515
|
+
of " boli" (hv) are probably wrong, as "bolena" means "pain/ache", IIRC.

Contributed by Henry H. Tan-Tenn, who comments, "The above is
|
|
549
|
+
the romanized version, in a script current among Taiwanese Christians since
|
|
550
|
+
the mid-19th century. It was invented by British missionaries and saw use in
|
|
551
|
+
hundreds of published works, mostly of a religious nature. Most Taiwanese did
|
|
552
|
+
not know Chinese characters then, or at least not well enough to read. More
|
|
553
|
+
to the point, though, a written standard using Chinese characters has never
|
|
554
|
+
developed, so a significant minority of words are represented with different
|
|
555
|
+
candidate characters, depending on one's personal preference or etymological
|
|
556
|
+
theory. In this sentence, for example, "-tàng", "chia̍h",
|
|
557
|
+
"mā" and "bē" are problematic using Chinese characters.
|
|
558
|
+
"Góa" (I/me) and "po-lê" (glass) are as written in other Sinitic
|
|
559
|
+
languages (e.g. Mandarin, Hakka)."

<li>Wagner Amaral of Pinese & Amaral Associados notes that
|
|
562
|
+
the Brazilian Portuguese sentence for
|
|
563
|
+
"I can eat glass" should be identical to the Portuguese one, as the word
|
|
564
|
+
"machuca" means "inflict pain", or rather "injuries". The words "faz
|
|
565
|
+
mal" would more correctly translate as "cause harm".
|
|
566
|
+
|
|
567
|
+
<li>Burmese: In English the first person pronoun "I" stands for both
|

|

genders, male and female. In Burmese (except in the central part of Burma)

The "I can eat glass" sentences do not necessarily show off the orthography of
|
|
584
|
+
each language to best advantage. In many alphabetic written languages it is
|
|
585
|
+
possible to include all (or most) letters (or "special" characters) in
|
|
586
|
+
a single (often nonsense) <i>pangram</i>. These were traditionally used in
|
|
587
|
+
typewriter instruction; now they are useful for stress-testing computer fonts
|

588

and keyboard input methods. Here are a few examples (SEND MORE):

It's a small village in eastern Lower Saxony.
|
|
665
|
+
The "oe" in this case
|
|
666
|
+
turns out to be the Lower Saxon "lengthening e" (Dehnungs-e), which makes the
|
|
667
|
+
previous vowel long (used in a number of Lower Saxon place names such as Soest
|
|
668
|
+
and Itzehoe), not the "e" that indicates umlaut of the preceding vowel.

|
|
673
|
+
|
|
674
|
+
for their relentless pursuit of the facts in this case. Conclusion: the
|
|
675
|
+
accent almost certainly does not belong on this (or any other native German)
|
|
676
|
+
word, but neither can it be dismissed as dirt on the page. To add to the
|
|
677
|
+
mystery, it has been reported that other copies of the same edition of the
|
|
678
|
+
PLZB do not show the accent! UPDATE (March 2006): David Krings was
|

Otto Stolz notes that "'Schloß' is now spelled 'Schloss', in
|
|
708
|
+
contrast to 'größer' (example 4) which has kept its
|
|
709
|
+
'ß'. Fraktur has been banned from general use, in 1942, and long-s
|
|
710
|
+
(ſ) has ceased to be used with Antiqua (Roman) even earlier (the
|
|
711
|
+
latest Antiqua-ſ I have seen is from 1913, but then
|
|
712
|
+
I am no expert, so there may well be a later instance." Later Otto confirms
|
|
713
|
+
the latter theory, "Now I've run across a book “Deutsche
|
|
714
|
+
Rechtschreibung” (edited by Lutz Mackensen) from 1954 (my reprint
|
|
715
|
+
is from 1956) that has kept the Antiqua-ſ in its dictionary part (but
|
|
716
|
+
neither in the preface nor in the appendix)."

In Bulgarian it is desirable, customary, or in some cases required to
|
|
748
|
+
write accents over vowels. Unfortunately, no computer character sets
|
|
749
|
+
contain the full repertoire of accented Cyrillic letters. With Unicode,
|
|
750
|
+
however, it is possible to combine any Cyrillic letter with any combining
|
|
751
|
+
accent. The appearance of the result depends on the font and the rendering
|
|
752
|
+
engine. Here are two examples.

characters as 4 hex digits, as shown <a href="glass.html">HERE</a>. Hex codes

of <a href="ckermit.html">C-Kermit</a> on the Unix host (<a

947
|

UTF-8 (I could also use Kermit 95 for this; it has the same TRANSLATE
|
|
948
|
+
command). That's it -- no "Web authoring" tools, no locales, no "smart"
|
|
949
|
+
anything. It's just plain text, nothing more. By the way, there's nothing
|
|
950
|
+
special about EMACS -- any text editor will do, providing it allows entry of
|
|
951
|
+
arbitrary 8-bit bytes as text, including the 0x80-0x9F "C1" range. EMACS 21.1
|
|
952
|
+
actually supports UTF-8; earlier versions don't know about it and display the
|
|
953
|
+
octal codes; either way is OK for this purpose.

I just found out your website and it makes me feel like proposing an

Glass is transparent and can hurt as everyone knows. The relation between
|
|
970
|
+
people and civilisations is sometimes effusional and more often rude. The
|
|
971
|
+
concept of breaking frontiers through globalization, in a way, is also an
|
|
972
|
+
attempt to deny any difference. Isn't "transparency" the flag of modernity?
|
|
973
|
+
Nothing should be hidden any more, authority is obsolete, and the new powers
|
|
974
|
+
are supposed to reign through loving and smiling and no more through

Eating glass without pain sounds like a very nice metaphor of this attempt.
|
|
980
|
+
That is, frontiers should become glass transparent first, and be denied by
|
|
981
|
+
incorporating them. On the reverse, it shows that through globalization,
|
|
982
|
+
frontiers undergo a process of displacement, that is, when they are not any
|
|
983
|
+
more speakable, they become repressed from the speech and are therefore
|
|
984
|
+
incorporated and might become painful symptoms, as for example what happens
|
|
985
|
+
when one tries to eat glass.

The frontiers that used to separate bodies one from another tend to divide
|
|
990
|
+
bodies from within and make them suffer.... The chosen phrase then appears
|
|
991
|
+
as a denial of the symptom that might result from the destitution of
|
|
992
|
+
traditional frontiers.
