    Hi Mox, lovely cartoon, I hope you don't mind but I copied it to my blog at http://matsnews.blogspot.com/ - if it's a problem let me know and I'll whisk it down.

    Heh, sounds familiar... ;)

    I remember when one customer complained that I had sent the wrong document because the title was one single word (in German, and a whole line long) and my translation was a whole sentence, one and a half lines long... obviously, he did no speak German! 8>)

    Brilliant!! They normally ask me to reduce the length of my Spanish text because it is too long XD
