Josh Billings is very funny but almost as unreadable as a
King James Bible.
Using AI language models, translate his fundamentally
irksome dialect into standard English.
This would enable it to be further translated into foreign
languages and we'd make a killing in the humor market,
what
with the sales and film and TV rights.
This could be a goldmine of humorous ideas, instead of a
headache behind your left eyeball:
I dont believe as a man should be ashamed ov miaking
money; under Constitution yu have a right tew make it
in any way yu kan. Ov coze i admit there are ways that
are richer than others, concerning this there is
komplinks.
Never try tew set a kat on its tail, kant be done by
forcin. It must be kindled into that position by high
blass.
Honour, as a kapital, is no longer considered a fixture,
wherfore i am willing to take a small premium if bi so
doing i can rescue any remains ov mi kapital frum
confiscotion.

Thanks borusm, I'd never hear of Josh Billings before
today. I'm finding the dialect easier to understand
if I imagine Jon Turturro speaking it in the voice of
his character Pete from "Oh Brother! Where art thou."
not sure if that helps, but it seems to work for me. |

So a, time defined, misunderstood genius. |
