I wrote something like:

	It was an analogous response to a clumsy attempt.  
	Also, read the first paragraph of the page I linked to, 
	and see if you can find other analogies.  Also,
	technological tools can help us learn new languages.
	Analogies abound.

The "clumsy attempt" was a phrase I stole from Google's translation of your first sentence (which I took to be the gist of your message, along with the difference between natural [human] and formal [computer] languages).
