WOW  That's a good offer indeed!
I had an Assyrian grammar once, but it's really out of my aspirations... too difficult! I have enough with Latin and Greek
Hugs,
Flavio

not wanting to sound picky about this, but the rate would rather be 33 cents per word, 3 words for one dollar!
I thought Assyrian was long time gone, is there anybody who can actually work with this language?

| | surely 75 words for 25 dollars is 33 cents per word | Nov 21, 2005 |
- not 3 cents per word. But I don't see anything strange about it. I'd want a minimum price of 33+ cents per word in my language pair for a 75 word translation (one-off job with new customer). Otherwise, and in fact even for 25 dollars, it would not be worth my while spending the time to set up an account and issue an invoice (and follow up payment, probably). For 25 bucks, who's got the time? Ask me to do 10,000 words at that price and I'll make you a good offer!

Right !
That makes 33 cents per word.
I hope that I am a better translator than mathematician...
