Message: [QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 4424174, member: 8516"] No último jogo de pré-temporada de Connecticut, a base portuguesa Inês Bettencourt ([URL='https://twitter.com/InsBettencourt2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1590095951187701760%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=']@InsBettencourt2[/URL]) mostrou o seu talento em dois passes [22” e 38”] que impressionaram Paige Bueckers ([URL='https://twitter.com/paigebueckers1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1590095951187701760%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=']@paigebueckers1[/URL]). Google translated-or didn’t translate-[I]base[/I] as base. It means [B]guard[/B] em português. If you don't believe that, just ask In[B]ê[/B]s, who spells her name with a circumflex. In Portuguese that puts the emphasis on the final syllable. Without it, it would sound like [B]EE[/B] nace (Brazilian) or [B]EE [/B] nesh (Iberian and Atlantic Islands). Puxa vida! How hard is it to copy and paste ê? Oh! I forgot. This is the board where some people still insist on spelling Kamilla Cardoso's name as Cardosa or Kordoza or whatever they feel like, because, after all, it's foreign so who cares. :oops::rolleyes: While I'm in grumbling curmudgeon mode, Google Translate added a bit of dramatic flair. The original says In[B][SIZE=6]ê[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=4]s “showed” [/SIZE][SIZE=6] [/SIZE][SIZE=4]her talent, not “showcased”.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
