Actualy I don't consider it a disability of our language, or our group, 
if we can't translate these. C'mon, my US-born, native english speaker 
cousin didn't know the meaning of spam when I asked her. Now, I know 
geeks know of spam since Monthy Python, but geeks live in their own 
world, which is a bit different from the real world.

These are relatively new words even in English language. It took us a 
couple of years to translate 'software' and 'hardware' to Farsi, in a 
way that was meaningful and was accepted by everyone. Now, I saw BBC 
Persian translating spam az Harz Nameh, and I liked it, and I think it 
is going to be accepted. It won't be long before we find a good 
translation for spammer, spamming, ....

Long live Farsi!
