pour = for, not by

by me would be par moi

Although I guess it could be a typo; maybe she was writing too fast.

It absolutely seems like it does. French, just like any language, should never be taken literally after translating.

This is why I don't translate.

If you were to write it in English it would be.

Think of it like a contest.

Technically it does. But with Français, when you look at it, you see it as you speak it not write it. At least I do.

I'm still a little shaken by what happened over the last few days and I feel a little creepy about the whole thing but myspace comments are kind of like having a conversation on a street corner with bullhorns, so I guess there's no real harm in dissecting them publicly. I mean, it's pretty clear that Alizee and a bunch of her friends/etc. decided to join MySpace in early July. There are several of "A"'s comments scattered around from early July, roughly of the form "hey-cool-this-is-my-first-post" and "isn't-it-cool-how-we-can-post-messages?" (I'm not translating them, just giving the rough spirit).

EDIT: Of course, one can go too far; really the catalyst for the whole thing on Tuesday was when Rozier posted a compendium of all of "A."'s comments and links to where they could be found. So I just don't know. Anyone who thinks I/we should delete the whole discussion can let me know...but I suppose the proverbial cat's kind of out of the bag at this point.

Hers is a private space that can only be accessed by those on her friends' list. She has some posts on several public spaces, including her father and a photographer friend of hers.
