She doesn't charge to absurdity or as much as she thinks she can get away with.

Not quite. Been there, done that.

(Because) there is no such thing (as student's rates). Some tried to help despite the fact that the question is senseless - the attitude they were faced with in reply will teach them to try to help again...
Provided I don't get scolded for doing so, let me provide my own piece of advice to you: try to charge as much as you can get away with - it will already most likely be inferior to what you're worth, and if it isn't, most will try to push your rates further down.
As for offering advice to your friend - sorry, I don't use messengers. |

Come again? I REALLY can't understand your meaning...
Uhm, maybe you thought that there was a special NEED for you to send me or her pieces of advice via some instant messenger(!)? If you did, then you've been and still are gravely mistaking; there is NONE.
Now, your attitude is a bit... numbing for me, and as for the rest of your message, I believe I already spoken my mind.

It depends. If you're referring to big companies, you're mistaking.

Need I remind you that we're NOT at a telegraph station here? Lucky for both of us that we don't back down at the very first brush with "supporters" amongst specialists in translation, anywhere.

NOW, can we END this thread? It's giving me a headache...
P.S. Thanks to Mr. Lemster for his TRUE support.

| | the arrogance of ingnorance | Jul 24 |
I'm always surprised to see the level of arrogance among newbies.
By the way, check the meaning of messenger. It's not about instant
messengers.
For instance, ever heard of Mercury, not just Freddy, the singer of The Queens,
the other... the messenger?
LOL

I'd suggest to continue the contemporary music discussion in the Off-topic forum.
