Show notes

Transcripts Gone Wrong!

The following are some of the mistranslations made by a translation matrix throughout our 3 three year journey at Happiness for Cynics.

Please note that all mistranslations listed below are just that, mistranslations. They are in no way endorsed by Happiness for Cynics, it’s hosts or administrators.

First, we have a list of names that the hosts Marie and Peter were incorrectly transcribed as.

Marie Skelton

Murray, Murray Stilton, Murray Skeleton, Mario, Mara, Morrow, Mary, Marine, Worry, Larry, May, Mars, Marry, Married, Marry Scott, Marry Felton, Maurice Dalton, Maori, Mouse, Laurie

Never has the translation matrix transcribed Marie’s name correctly. Interestingly it did transcribe Marie Kondo correctly!

Peter Furness

Peter Fitness, Pay it, Paige, Peter Finn, Peat, Peter Finance, Pain Furnace, Pate, Pig, Pain, Peace
