more input 20:20 Jul 4, 2007
I spent ages typing up (as my doc won't allow cut and paste) more input - but all that was posted was the title unfortunately! I cannot face re-typing again. I think it is offensive for another poster to question someone's native-speaker status. How else can that be taken, except as an insult? I do not presume for example that your first name is CMJ Trans, so why should mine be kalimeh. It is the name of my translation agency. My first name is Jeannie! I just wanted help with a few terms and I ended up being patronised and insulted - I think the tone Francis Lee used was insulting - aside from the native speaker issue his tone was aggressive. I just want to get on with my translation, but feel extremely hurt by his comments and style of answering. |
