EDIT: To avoid misunderstandings, this is a copy of a job offer I have received. I apologize for this is taken as anything but a little joke on the evident typo: I DO NOT ask for quote - it is (a nameless) somebody else.

| That's big indeed | Jun 16, 2007 |
Think about the work the agency has to do, select the translators and editors for those 10 languages, all the fuss with questions from the translators and answers of the customer, various deadlines.
I wouldn't like to be the outsourcer.
But seriously, there should be a filter for these minijobs. We could choose if we want to be bothered by such jobpostings.
Cheers

| Probably a typo | Jun 16, 2007 |
Very likely they meant to say 20,000 words.

Very likely they meant to say 20,000 words Somebody must have been banging his or her head against the door frame (or display;) last night. It's a split second moment - and then you cant get it back again (d*mn).
Regards
Vito

Hi, there, Vito,
This masterpiece shows the literary side of our business: Make the most sense out of the least nonsense.
Thank you. Have a nice beginning of the weekend!
Cheers,
Wenjer
