payment - salary Explanation: nothing more. It is 'payment in the form of a salary'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-14 02:09:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To David: I am sorry David. My disagree was a stupidity. I had planned a neutral, not a disagree. Even if I were to disagree with your opinion, and I am not 100% sure I do, I should have used \'neutral\' as your reaction was a comment, not a proposed answer. I should refrain from answering things on the forum when my head is in other clouds. Sorry for that. As for the rest, I have nothing against someone using Proz or any other forum to get information from. If that someone does that in real life, he/she is also going to do it in tests. Seems logical to me. For me, a translation test is a test of a potential translator\'s ability to translate a text, not a test of personal knowledge. I have always rebelled against the Belgian parrot education as I never (wanted to) understood the usefulness of spending months learning facts by heart one can easily find in a cheap (or free) almanac or a book. A phone directory may very well contain interesting information, but is it really worth the trouble learning one by heart? I think it is much more important to be able to find information when it is needed. That said, I do have my share of doubts when I see the type and sheer quantity of questions certain people ask. And I shiver considering that, in all likelihood, they will not even check the answers they get. But then, I guess that\'s probably why I am more expensive? And yes, you can include me, I am most definitely one of those people who object to ridiculously low rates. |
