What's the longest sentence (or paragraph) you can write in English that
would be accepted by a Polish spell-check?
Or, alternatively, what's the longest text you can write in Polish that would
make it through an English spell-check?
Or any other two languages, really, the principle's the same.

For example, words like "I", "on", "a", "by", "as", "sex
shop", "car", "jest", "we", "bum", "fart" and "go" will be accepted by both
English and Polish spellcheck software.

      I've got a poem. Well, it's Baldrick's poem, from Blackadder.

      Baldrick: BOOM BOOM BOOM...
      BOOM BOOM BOOM...
      BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM-
      Blackadder: Boom boom boom?
      Baldrick: How did you know sir?
      Blackadder: Well just a wild stab in the dark.
      George: That's damned creepy sir. Amazing!

      Now for the translation:

      BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM BUM!

      I make it 13 words. I have added a second verse and I want full credit for
      maintaining the purity of rhythm and rhyme of the original, adding to the
      dramatic tension, poignancy and lots of other things. It is:

      BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM BUM BUM
      BUM BUM...
      (collapse on stage struck down by the booming object, the loud thud of the fall
      becoming an integral and essential part of the poem)

        Did you see Baldrick exposing his personal, family life on TV the other night?
        God, he didn't half moan about his mother with Alzheimer's and his feelings on
        stuffing her into a home.

          He wouldn't be the first comedian to be a bit of a glum case in private
          life. "Tears of a clown when there's no-one around" and all that.

      I'll start then.

      "We do not stop to chat to a pot smoking brat."
      "I hurt my bum, but not much."

          I was trying this in my head while driving back from Cieszyn yesterday, and I
          just couldn't string together a single salient sentence.

            I walk one dog to my bank - that's as far as I can get.

              I can't figure out what this is all about- too many drinks maybe.
