Yep! Someone did it. The MahirClause website really exhists, but so does athlete's foot, and no-one gets excited about that, either.

This whole Mahir thing is mostly just a case of laughing at silly foreigners.

Oh, I don't think so. Not in my case, anyway. My command of English is impeccable (and I have the perfect accent for it), but I could do pidgin/fractured English a lot better and funnier than Mahir or his imitators. What I like about the original is the enthusiasm and joie de vivre contained within. . . 8)

That's what I like about it too. I just wondered. There's bound to be such people out there. And my Turkish isn't that good either. Istanbul spor. Yakalarsam!
