proz produces the stickers? Jun 3, 2008

How about proposing to Proz to produce stickers like this? They can give them to us when we register as Proz's member....

How about this general purpose one? Jun 3, 2008

I've long been particularly infuriated by the popular car sticker "BABY ON BOARD".

OK then, I won't drive into you so hard ... or maybe I'll bump you even harder.

So I'm planning to make myself one saying:

ANOTHER ANNOYING BUMPER STICKER

But I haven't got round to it yet

Not just for translators, but for any "grumpy old person".

Thank you, Harry dear, but I've already got that one. However, it probably needs renewing.

Better a rear window sticker, so nobody sees your bolding skull Jun 3, 2008

Linguum, non animum, mutant, qui trans via currunt.
Trasport mostly is late
To translate mostly is a sport
Transporting a translator is the latest sport

Yes! So does mine.

Cars, washing machines, computers, light bulbs, bumper stickers...

They never bloody well build things to last anymore, do they? I think it's an absolute damned disgrace!

Cheers

More grumpy old person stuff Jun 3, 2008

Sorry - I don't do the graphics. It means I have to register, remember/reveal my mother's maiden name, choose a graphic and then 'add to cart'.

As one who is completely tolerant of bad drivers:

PROUD to be a TRANSLATOR
Are you proud to be a driver?

If you could drive as well as I TRANSLATE
You'd get the f*** off my tail

Hiya honey!
Drivers do it with two feet but TRANSLATORS do it with two tongues... See more

O.K. - CALM DOWN!
I'm a TRANSLATOR! I'm just checking my SatNav for consistency and accuracy

Was your document well TRANSLATED?
Please E-mail 'YES' to: (my car registration number)@wwa.proz.com

(in the U.K. trucks often bear a sign saying "Well driven? Please call this number....")

I'm a PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR
Your driving gives me a sad sense of Déjà-vu

You are driving like a PROJECT MANAGER
Keep your eyes on the road, not on the spreadsheet

TRANSLATORS like me transcend cultures
Drivers like you transcend red lights

End of rant
