It´s Bill Gates again, having the power on EVERYTHING...

 

Really scary, isn´t it?

In my Spanish version of word I get: El veloz murciélago hindú comía feliz cardillo y kiwi. This translates as: The speedy  Hindu bat was eating happy golden thistle and kiwi. The sentence in Spanish does not use all the letters of the alphabet. Any explanations?

Forbes, I am Spanish, as well, but I have the Word English Version.

So the riddle that was sent to me by e-mail said originally:

Do you know what does Hindu eat? You don´t know? So how does Bill Gates know it, then? Try the following: open a blank document, write...

 

But in English is a different one  (:O)

Rester, c'est exister: mais voyager, c'est vivre.

Reme, I am not Spanish, although I do live in Spain. I do not quite follow what you are saying. The sentence seems rather odd Spanish to me, perhaps not even proper Spanish. Perhaps I could have the whole riddle in Spanish, even if this is a site to improve people's English I am sure no one will mind if, just for once, someone's Spanish is improved.

Well, the thing is this sentence is already given in font settings to show how it (the font) looks. So it must be, that by typing this you give the programme a code which makes it do this. I'm sure there are plenty of others with different functions. It's just the basics of programming, nothing about Bill Gates superpower <img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" />
I have "Съешь ещё этих мягких французских булок, да выпей чаю."(Russian) which means: "Eat some more of these soft French buns and drink some tea"

I'm still very far on my way to perfection so any corrections of my mistakes will be appreciated.
