Battle of the Kingdoms Rematch: New Year Quiz We've been challenged by YTI and @NWTN_UK to a repeat online pub quiz. Last time we had fun and a great NERG turnout! 7th January 2021, 07:30 PM Contact Natascha Jaeger for the link if you're game

I managed to keep up my #CPD Friday throughout most of January, but today, work took over again. But there is still enough time to watch the next Texterclub lecture.

Word of the day is 'throttlebottom': a bumbling, inept individual in public office. (Named after Alexander Throttlebottom, a character in the 20th-century musical comedy 'Of Thee I Sing').

This Thursday we'll be going head-to-head with YTI and @NWTN_UK for an Easter quiz! Looking forward to it... #ITICommunity

Thoughts of a translator: My client claims that "infatuated" is stronger than "in love", but I always understood it to be the other way round. What do you think? #amtranslating

Lektoriere gerade eine Übersetzung ins Deutsche, in der mal wieder der schöne Begriff "wedding venue" vorkommt: Veranstaltungsort? Austragungsort??? Sagt doch kein Mensch. "Location" funktioniert (fast) immer! #KeineAngstvorDenglish
