These last few posts have made me do a lot of thinking. First,
we contrasted how various people might pronounce something
versus how they might transliterate it. The pronunciation
would be nice to render because of automatic speaking computers.
Now we have how various people might translate it versus what
it means.

Absolutely, onegai shimasu out of context would not have any of
its meaning in context: Good Mo-o-o-orning Mrs. McGuillicutty.
