...words and sentences that make no sense.

i dislike translation work.

now i really do appreciate professional translators. they need to be good in... sorry slash that out... they need to have excellent command of at least two languages. they need to be able to reword, rephrase and restructure sentences without frowning, scratching their head or pulling their hair off.

did i tell you i hate translation work?

i think it's really easier to write something from scratch than to correct other people's work. so i really do appreciate editors too. i know i don't have the skill nor the characteristic and personality to be a translator or editor.

oh yeah, i also prefer not to do editing work.

well, at least one of the perks of editing translations is to laugh at the weird way it's done. hey, i'm not being cruel, ok? i need my sanity, so i need to laugh it off.

so what do i like?

i like blogging coz i can write however i like in whatever manner and it doesn't have to make sense. can anyone pay me to do just that?
