[LM_NET] Target: Deterrents to using language translators

[Jacqueline Henry <JHenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

I just received the following request from our Spanish teacher.  Do you
have any ideas that will help?
 
"I would love, love, love to have some sort of activity to demonstrate
to my students the pitfalls of using the online translation services. 
Pleading, begging and threatening have not yet been effective
deterrents.  Any thoughts?"

"The Librarian, whose job is to heal ignorance, to keep life safe for
poetry and to put knowledge smack dab in the middle of the American
way."
