Editing Macaronic language (section)

===Unintentional macaronic language===
{{Main|Homophonic translation}}

Occasionally language is unintentionally macaronic. One particularly famed piece of schoolyard Greek in France is [[Xenophon]]'s line "they did not take the city; but in fact they had no hope of taking it" ({{lang|grc|οὐκ ἔλαβον πόλιν· άλλα γὰρ ἐλπὶς ἔφη κακά}}, {{Lang|grc-latn|ouk élabon pólin; álla gàr elpìs éphē kaká}}). [[Mondegreen|Read]] [[Pronunciation of Ancient Greek in teaching#France|in the French manner]], this becomes {{Lang|fr|Où qu'est la bonne Pauline? A la gare. Elle pisse et fait caca.}} ('Where is Pauline the maid? At the [railway] station. She's pissing and taking a shit.')<ref>Arbre d'Or eBooks.
