| | Clarification request(s) and responseAnna Maria Augustin (asker): 7:38pm Jul 25, 2005: I have had to send this text urgently but you may continue to fight it out amongst yourselves AS IS THE CUSTOM WITH KUDOZ if you wish. Thank you.
Nick Lingris: 9:17pm Jul 25, 2005: Come on, Anna, rather than keep us on our toes, why don't you tell us what your version was? And we can always keep fighting it out till the cows come home (or the spider, for that matter). -
Anna Maria Augustin (asker): 9:21pm Jul 25, 2005: No, no. Have to wait 24 hours. Zat is zee rules. Catch you tomorrow!
Juan Jacob: 10:09pm Jul 25, 2005: "...to that affected": nobody will understand that. It has nothing to do with accent. Peace and love et L'Union Fait la Force. -
Elizabeth Lyons: 3:32pm Aug 8, 2005: Juan, I don't know where you are coming from. As I said from the beginning, affectation fits into this sentence perfectly. The concept is intact, Anna had to do was pick the right form re final translation. -
Elizabeth Lyons: 3:33pm Aug 8, 2005: No other appropriate answer was offered here. You could have done that yourself if you had a better idea, but it is always easier to take pot shots than to offer help. Cheers : ) -
