Your client is a liar - his e-mail is obviously working.
I think you can safely ignore everything else he complains about based on that.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

How big is his hard disk? The Kitty Pictures alone must be enormous!

In an office long ago, I used to hear cries of 'the internet is down!'. Fond memories of being the only IT guy/programmer for 3 companies in the same office building.

The 'email' option next to the 'reply' option is my guess, though I've never tried it.

I got yet another call, to "help me lower my credit card interest rate" today. Through a cosmic bit of timing, I happened to have this video[^] handy. Hopefully the trauma will cause them to remove me from their call cycle, but I'll keep it handy. Just in case.

I use Google Translate to translate words to/from English. From what little I know of other languages, I think it does a good job. I'm curious, though, if it would be good enough to translate the UI components of an app that I am working on. In times past, I would simply send the file needing translating to a team of actual linguists who would turn the words/phrases/messages/titles into their respective language. As far as I can tell, that has always worked. The person, however, needs to know the context in which a particular phrase will be shown, as I guess that makes a difference.
I've noticed over the years that if I translated, say, ten individual words from English using Google Translate, I would get ten words back in whatever language I was interested in. If I took all or most of those ten English words and had them translated as a sentence, I would get something different in return. This makes me wonder if an actual person is better suited for the job.
