Word of Christmas Day, as always, is
‘confelicity’: joy in the happiness of others.
The fellow emotion to ‘compassion’, literally ‘a suffering with’.
Wishing you confelicity aplenty this Christmas.

October is METM month. What's METM? I hear you ask. It's an annual conference for translators and editors and for me, it brings opportunities to learn more about the field I love, catch up with colleagues, and rise to new challenges. Here are my thoughts:

PM turning utter hypocrisy into a new art form. It’s “wrong to chase the short term headlines” he says, precisely as he does so. “I want to build a better future for our kids” exactly as he sets about trashing it. “I won’t take the easy way out” when he’s doing exactly that 🤦🏻♀️

A huge translation company just contacted me for an MTPE testing project. One of the media giants now is apparently getting into literary translation.

Does anyone know of a figurative meaning of the expression "I before E except after C"?
Context: In Australia, an eco-protester says this to the cop who's arresting her. It's in a series of quick-cut shots in a documentary, so there's nothing else to cling on to for context.

I have to admit "Did you vomit in my girlfriend's panties?" is not a sentence I ever expected to translate. And it was far from being the worst one of today's lot.

I feel I deserve a mic drop. I just used "Shaking up cocktail conventions" for the title of an article about inventive cocktails. The smugness lasted until I realized I still had to work on the rest of the article...
