it seems for the most part everyone has pretty excellent grammar and spelling... this is one of the reasons we are good at our jobs. Me... sometimes I have a freak spelling error in a post on a forum. Like I think I typed week when I meant weak recently... and I am so mortified. Sometimes I want to post a followup that I know I made a mistake, but then I feel just too anal. But being the language specialist that I have become, the fact that the OP's primary language is not English is pretty blaringly obvious. If this is really a true-blue U.S.A, English-speaking MT posting... HEAVEN HELP US.
I do really consider myself an accent specialist, when I meet someone or talk to someone from a help center on the phone, I have a little contest in my head about guessing where they are from... not just different countries but different parts of the U.S. too. |
even though we try not to police grammar and spelling, being as this is our profession (sm) - Deb - I agree
