RE: Team Europe – Still Digging, Still Hoping (Report #1)
Haha, you know what the whole situation reminds me of right now? The day we finally decided to found the NO Community... 😉
Can you imagine that we (oh yes, a community effort in a shared document...) even worked on this report for a little over half an hour? Hm, about two days in total... the three of us!
I'm laughing my arse off! It has never occurred to me before to give spelling mistakes in kilograms. I'm going to steal that idea from you without permission and just weigh it from now on!
The problem is sad and serious. It's cheeky and disrespectful to publish something like this in the age of correction programmes. That's one side of it. The other side is the impertinence of people who have no idea about the language used ‘curating’ something like this. If they translate at all, the translator corrects the mistakes...
I had such a case in DU. A businessman who certainly wouldn't think of sending such spelling rubbish as an email to his customers. You don't need to correct for Steemit... I never voted for him for that reason (and told him so), but on foreign curator accounts he was on the subscription list. Annoyed me a tiny bit sometimes...
He now corrects the texts... 😊
It's all good and exciting if you stay in No Community. The minute you step out.... it starts getting frustrating. I should go back into my bubble.
I can totally imagine the time and effort you guys have put into this report and curation.
In this case, kilograms seemed to add more weight to my claim than tons. 😅
Can spellings be fixed with a translator? Especially when the new word has a tangible meaning. Like "knee" and "keen".

Next time you're having a browse, I recommend popping into the Ukrainian community. There's a highly active core that breathes a lot of life into the community (hence the number of nominations this week!).

The good thing is: when it's time to return to the bubble, I definitely don't feel guilty about it... 🤪
The good programmes that check grammar and meaning at the same time can do this. Google can't...

The author clearly didn't bother to use any programme and as a reader I wouldn't go to the trouble of translating an article with something more intelligent unless I'm really really interested.
I think we might even have started it more than 2 days ago!

Yes, you’re right. But do we really have to publicly admit just how truly, truly stupid we are?!
