Here's a note from a kid who I think is asking for leave. But it sounds like, he, of all people, needs to come to class. Can anybody tell me what this means?

Dear teacher:

The armed department in school leads to seek we retire from the army the university student opens the symposium, excusing me very much can't ascend your lesson, inviting to you is false!

Your student,
___________

Wow, Kurochan
I have no idea, either. What I do when I get something like this is make the translation a class assignment. Blackboard it and have the class play editor, suggesting alternative word choices and grammar. You may not find out what it means, but it does make for an interesting class.

Regards, Latefordinner

Simply translated, it means:

Your school building has somehow gotten hold of weapons and is asking the student, who must be very old, to get a pension from the army, so he can't come up to your lesson (you must teach on the top floor), because of a meeting. He must be a conginetal lier, so if he does invite you to this meeting, don't go.

Kurochan, it's obvious, because of the situation in Taiwan he has to sign up for military service. He is some sort of captain that has to lead the students and he is not lying to you.

You need to brush up on your Chinglish.

That sounds like the notes my japanese students give me after they skip a few classes. It probably took him 30 minutes to write it too.

Well, yeah, Gordon. He had to write it in Chinese and then look up each word in English.
