I'm sure you know it's only a figure of speech. I often refer people here to you when it comes to be a sworn and professional translator. As I know that you're experienced and an inside-person in HPI. The term 'devil' does not even remotely mean to antagonize you. Lol, I dont know why I'm explain

Pfft. Inspire and motivate!? Oh my! How very noble you! Should l give u a standing applause!? You could churn any number out of ur ass. But could you give PROOF for all those number? Translate shit is not as difficult as you think! I've come to the conclusion that you have no idea whatsoever abou
Translate could land you two figures salary? Yeah sure. People that lurking in this forum don't have what it takes to earn that much. You see how bad their english are. And it will need a proper title before you can be considered for an interview! Don't feed their pipe dream. That's very irrespon

Workshop or gathering is no option, since it's mostly done in Jakarta, yet again and obviously. And it was quite hard to get along with senior members of HPI on Facebook. I just can't blend in. I suspect the generation gap :hammers @ Ambrosiana: Did you tell me that you started off by joining a
