nibor48135yPresume this is some sort of consultancy where the client gets resumes on the proposed team. If so, be prepared, for this will be the client from hell

mksana2465yReminds me of the time when some people in germany liked to translate Microsoft to "Kleinweich". What an idiotic request.

Quirinus7525yMy last name ends in ฤ.
What the fuck, if someone asked me to translate my name I'd laugh at them. Coincidentally, my name translated is like a well known tractor brand name. :D
Translating school? Hell, some people are dumb. -
