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!

Currently #translating a museum exhibition, and I just adapted a text to include the English #translation of a book.
I of course considered it my duty to also #NameTheTranslator in my adaptation (even if he has been dead for over a century). 😊

I usually listen to instrumental music while working, but there are days when I'm just not in the mood. On such occasions, I often turn to the Radio Lento podcast (recommended to my by @AMDWorld)
It's a series of recorded ambiant sounds. Sometimes its rain falling in a forest at night. Sometimes its waves crashing on a seashore. It's almost always soothing.
Makes good nap-time listening too!

Gut vernetzte #Übersetzer*innen haben gegenüber anderen einen Riesenvorteil. Wir kennen jederzeit Menschen in allen Winkeln der Erde, die alle möglichen Sprachen beherrschen und neugierig ganz genau hinhören oder hinschauen, und die wir fragen können : "Du, sag mal, hat der/die das wirklich gesagt? Und in welchen #Kontext muss ich das einordnen?"
