  1. No, #MSWord, I do not want you to “helpfully” recheck the “Ordinals (1st) with superscript” setting every time you update.

    I have spent my career battling this setting. It’s the 21st century, #Microsoft. Using superscript in abbreviations went out of style a long time ago!

  2. I’m the kind of #translator who will find, open, and search seven public-domain translations of the #Iliad just to see how I might best translate that three-word description of the ancient city of #Mycenae from French into English.

  3. Many #LSPs / #TranslationAgencies out there are looking for account managers, social media specialists, client success experts (WTF?!), project managers, business leads, but few are looking for actual #translators.
    Who does the job, then?
