The current image is confusing, is it a French-English bilingual trying to communicate with a German? I prefer this image:

Keep current; I assume Translation Convention is occuring, and it's nice to have a two-way example that clearly shows the confusion. I find the suggestion a little more confusing because it doesn't involve an actual language.

Agreed, “can cats talk here?” Is way more confusing than “can they understand German?”

And the third panel of current makes it funny to me. Keep Until Better Image Suggested

Keep. There's nothing in the suggestion that confirms a language barrier, more that cats don't "talk."

I focus on obscure 1990s or graphic Middle Grade Literature novels and dolls. (She or zie, not they.)

Keep current.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?
