Mihai, I was surprised not to find a list of useful books (which I bet you've never read), which is what you normally do. As to your 'elements for business success' list, I find it peculiar that what you are suggesting is precisely what has been lacking in your profile page since your joined ProZ, however hard to establish that may be, given your many - many - comings and goings over time. Again, I would really like to know why you keep doing this. PS Apologies for storming your thread, William, but I had to say my piece, here. It's a long, tedious story... | | | William Yang China Local time: 14:40 Member (2021) English to Chinese + ... TOPIC STARTER how do you come up with the conclusion I didn't. | Mar 8, 2022 |

You obviously think your English is good. If I were proofing it I would have to be on the phone to you every other sentence to ask you what you were trying to say. This is not a personal criticism. You have the level you have. If you tell potential clients that you need a proofreader to work on your text before submission that is not a strong selling point. It shows that you single yourself out from among the many translators working in the pair as someone whose language skills (Chinese>English) are not up to the task. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. If not, your will damage your professional reputation sooner or later. | | | Mihai Badea (X) Luxembourg Local time: 08:40 English to Romanian + ...

Your PS, that's the exact same answer you gave me to my very same question a while back. Thanks, but, no thanks. We are being rude to William, don't you think. This discussion is about him. My most sincere apologies, William. P.S. Did we meet, Barbara? Do we know each other? Please clarify. I first registered on this website decades ago, I contributed a lot of quality KudoZ answers (under my own name), and I was involved in a lot of interesting discussions (including among moderators). Have I ever been impolite to you. It must have been a misunderstanding. That was never my intention. | | | matt robinson Spain Local time: 08:40 Member (2010) Spanish to English So if you mean what I think you mean... | Mar 8, 2022 |

确实这样,最怕的是懂你自己人欺负自己人。还找所谓的外国专家背书。 如果是另一种情况,就是不可容忍的。

"what're your ideas?" You might pronounce "what are" as "what're" when speaking; but you can't write it as "what're".
