    I must admit it works all the same with TV movies... By the way, I am new to this blog and really appreciate it :)

    muy cierto, más de una vez me han mandado callar amigos míos...
    me he tomado la libertad de compartirlo en Facebook, y si me das permiso, te añado en mi lista de enlaces (aviso al navegante,la web aún está en un estado muy básico: www.smithdelafuente.com)

    gracias por hacerme reír con esta profesión que hemos escogido!

    So true, so true!
    That´s why my husband never wants to go to cinema with me.

    Great blog!

    Unfortunately I am the same way...That is why I try to avoid movies with subtitling and a language that I can understand...

    Add: never discuss a translated book with a translator

    :-)

    That's why I try to read books in the original language - bad translations can spoil the reading experience.

    I guess that is why me and my husband never goes to cinema again. We prefer DVD at home..in order to be freely grunting:D

    Thanks, Alejandro. You rock:D
    I found this blog of yours in a link posted by a fellow book translator:)

    How about "Never go to dinner with someone who proofreads menus?" :)
