Pretty cool. =P As for translating it into Jovian... "right now" would be rendered as |nun ipfe|, so it doesn't work word-for-word. However, one could read a similar meaning into |Doemu Rictu od Doemu Drictu| [dAjm riCt Ad dAjm driCt] "Mr. Right or Mr. Direct". If I decide that the Jovian expression for instant coffee is |coffé dricta|, it works even better. =D -- Christian Thalmann
