Bubo Coroman (X) 08:31 Jul 27, 2008  I support Fuad's request. I would say "the strange thing about it is that" which is a well-used expression http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&q="the strange thing about... but I have no idea if it fits in your sentence. ahmadwadan.com Saudi Arabia 08:29 Jul 27, 2008  Sure, thats correct. Fuad Yahya 08:22 Jul 27, 2008  Please provide context (the sentence in the official letter where this expression is used and which shows the intended meaning). The appropriate translation will depend on the context. Never trust an answer suggesting a transaltion without context. Automatic update in 00:
