The translator is not a decision making man, he is a LANGUAGE EXPERT. If the original is illegible, he READS it. If the grammar is wrong, he FIXES it. If it simply makes no sense, he UNDERSTANDS it. If he’s lucky, he’ll learn a few things, translate a Security Council document in less than a week, FOR THAT IS THE CLOSEST HE’LL EVER GET TO BEING A HERO.
... not a hero yet... but got close last night :-)

And I Wonder, Why Did You Stop Writing? Still Alive?
Hit Back Here Only!... I'll Be Waiting For The Reply ...
... To Know That The Person Behind These Words Is Still Breathing!
... well i'm back ...
Apparently, I was kinda lost since few days. Otherwise it wudn't have taken me 3 days to notice that you're back!
Have been checking every day - for a month and 10 days now, but oh well!
Great analyzing up there on sloths. Will get back on that soon.
Keep writing and I'll keep returning for more! Till next time - Take Care and For Now - Adios!
humm... i should say thank you i think... by the way - direct question - who are you?
Who Am I? Does that really matter in the larger mosaic of things? But I wonder, why are you hiding behind this anonymity!
And I read something lately, so thought of sharing ...
Upon my back, to defend my belly;
Upon my wit, to defend my wiles;
Upon my secrecy, to defend mine honesty;
My Mask, to defend my beauty.
-Troilus and Cressida
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
- Oscar Wilde
My mask of anonymity protects me not from the world... it is mirror for the world in front of me... they see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear...
By the way - where can I read more of what you read?
