Hello Prozians,
I can't say I wasn't sad not to see my blog about the prospect of me writing a translation treatise get my blogs on my Facebook business profile more views after I mentioned it on the ProZ forums.

I can't say I wasn't sad not to see my blog about the prospect of me writing a translation treatise get my blogs on my Facebook business profile more views after I mentioned it on the ProZ forums.
Anyway, my dream of becoming one of the great translators / translation scholars of my time remains burning bright, and I have been writing several more blogs on George Trail Translator over the past week or so, which I encourage you to read. I hope you will find them entertaining and enlightening.
By the way, can you lot please tell that Wayne Waz Sweeney guy to get stuffed.
Thank you very much for your time, and have a nice day.

I can't make any sense of that.

Have the French part of your website and French CV properly translated by a native translator, or just remove them.
In your own best interest ...

...but this is ridiculous. The German version of your website is far from professional. How can you claim to be a specialist. It really makes me wonder.

I can't make any sense of that.
Maybe like me with modern art, you don't understand and appreciate "modern English". Anyone who can cram three negative verbs into 35 characters (including spaces) must have something going for them. Perhaps one day you'll hear it called a masterpiece.

So congratulations - he certainly fooled some of us! Personally I'm impressed that the amount of work he put into it (three versions of his website don't forget!).

A long, long time ago I used to participate in an online political forum, which was occasionally blessed by rare visit from someone calling themselves "Murkin Patriot". Murkin seemed to be an angry, dim-witted heartland conservative, writing in all caps with spelling errors, but it wasn't long before the humor shone through – Murkin was a master (and probably NSFW) parody troll. Thanks, George, you are just what the translation world needs!
