So my dad wanted me to edit his essay for him, and this was his email.

Hi girl

Please make corrections for old man. I translated from Chinese.

Fatman

I have no idea why he called himself fatman

“Fatman” is probably translated literally from “fei lo” in Cantonese but actually represents the word “fail”
same with the word “girl” which is probably supposed to be “daughter”
oh, dictionaries are lovely.
hahahahaha

Why would he type in adult for an email to his kid? And also, ‘zhen’ is not the correct word for “person.”
