    Dissing interpreters !?

    WHAT is UP with this website!? It's subject is Spanish translation, but it totally disses all interpreters. Whoever wrote this page (So You Want to be an Interpreter) has got to be either really ignorant, or just stupid. But wait a second . .. . . the rest of the site isn't like that...

    Not so noob

    Salutations. Legend has it that newcomers to the forum are to introduce themselves, so here I am. First, I am very much established as a hearing person. I am a cellist and pianist, and am incredibly fascinated with certain aspects of the English language. However, this fascination appears to...
