Happy Fourth of July to everyone who wants to celebrate it. More independence form all the phenomena that may limit a translator in any way, their prosperity, intellectual and professional growth.

In the spirit of ecumenicalism, we'll correct the other bit without further comment (and because it's just a forum posting, after all).

Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't see the fireworks from over here ... ▲ Collapse
