What's scary about this is that your Babelfish translation looks WAY too much like what I see my students writing in your diary. At least in terms of writing style. They don't say anything that nice about me. 
Here's my translation:
Daniel is handsome and smart. He also works very hard, he's a cool guy and lots of women like him. His friends say he's cool, too. We love him.
Sounds like you have a great rapport with your students. Congrats!  |

I showed this to a Korean speaker today and they gave me the following literal translation:
"Daniel is a stupid and ugly. He has no friends because nobody likes him. He told us in class that on the weekends he likes to sit in his backyard and fondle goats. Now we are scared of Teacher Daniel." |

Well hmm next week I'm going to have a chat with my students - I told them write that 'I am'. I did not say to use my name they were to say 'Our great teacher is blah blah blah'.The problem is they surround my classroom computer before the bell so I'd thought I'd take advantage of it and have them boost my ego- if that is possible...
Anyway anything I can do to elevate my self esteem -it is all based on what mortal men say about me- NOT. Maybe I thought I could get some sweet mystery Lady English Teacher to PM me and say she wants to hike with me.
Also, I have not played with a goat since I was a kid I and I was thinking of going to the infamous foreigner bars in Jeju City tonight but if I see Advetureman there I will taunt him about his love for very very wholesome Canadian women. |

Does The Great Toad really fondle goats? He seems like a great guy, perhaps it was just a historical/anthropological investigation of sorts, back to Ancient Greece. G.T. reads like a very educated fellow (I think we met at Oxford).  |
