Thought I've seen it all, but... Just received a rebuttal from someone whose low-quality translation I reviewed, and it turns out this "linguist" doesn't even know that there's a type of honorific in German that uses a plural pronoun to address an individual – even though this form is used in many popular movies & books (LOTR etc.).

No wonder so many "translators" are afraid that the machines will replace them. If you're this clueless, please, let a robot take the wheel! 🙄

Lol, bij ons huis staat de EPC-waarde van hetzelfde huisnummer maar in een aanpalende straat met een gelijkaardige naam (bij ons eindigt het op dreef, hiernaast op hof)

Het staat ook zo opgenomen in onze woningpas.

VRT NWS: nieuws · Met deze online tool kan iedereen opzoeken welk energielabel een woning heeft

Things got off to a rocky start at #Trump's #NY #fraud #trial. Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba went on a rant about how the #court denied Trump a #jury trial, and how unfair it is. Judge #Engoron had to interrupt her to explain that the reason why there's no jury is that she herself forgot to submit the appropriate request for one. I'd call this #AmateurHour, but that would be an insult to amateurs.

Vanity Fair · Trump’s New York Fraud Trial Kicks Off With News He’ll Be Tried Without a Jury Because His Lawyers Didn’t File the Paperwork for OneBy Bess Levin

Confirmed the same stupidity on Roland's MC707 as on their SP404. Any existing loop point in an imported sample is lost and has to be done again on a teeny weeny little screen.

Excellent tools have been developed over years to create perfect loop points. You don't just waddle into the progression and say HEY EVERYBODY WHAT UP. I guess if your audience has no history to recall you get away with this shit. #Sampling #AmateurHour
