| I replied "zombie" | Feb 26, 2017 |
but after I read other replies it dawned on me that if a zombie eats my brain it will die immediately being overflooded with words. Therefore, I'm a zombie poison! | | | Not even fun | Feb 26, 2017 |
As Mr Mario Gonzalez wrote: "Not even fun". ----- We add: Please, ProZ staff, prevent the post of polls this stupid, and of such a bad taste? *Such* polls are a great waste of time. As Mr Michael Harris wrote: These are really getting worse!!! We are a serious profession and I am for a bit of fun, but this is really getting to be really really stupid lately!!!

I haven't seen a single zombie movie, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry, does not apply in my case. | | | Ilan Rubin (X) Russian Federation Local time: 17:15 Russian to English Bring it on! | Feb 26, 2017 |
I was in investment banking for 14 years. The zombie apocalypse will be a walk in the park compared with that.

Very funny poll | Feb 26, 2017 |
I am currently reading Max Brook's The Zombie Survival Guide just for fun, and it is fun and also very interesting. For those saying this is a waste of time, why wasting even more of your time replying it? | | | For sharing our opinion | Feb 26, 2017 |

Considering that I only know what this question means because I happened to translate zombie movie synopses for a media client, it's safe to assume I would be a scientist in this scenario - someone who works for a solution behind the scenes with her mind/brain only, but without any actual contact with the "real" world. While I do strongly dislike (I actually really hate) this line of fantasy, I think the question is funny, and probably others would find it smart, too, if those movie...

If the question were phrased like this: "which role in a dystopia?", the colleagues wouldn't find it so repulsive. ▲ Collapse | | |

My defense of the quick polls has just been destroyed | Feb 27, 2017 |
In the last post, I criticized someone who said "I'm no longer 8 years old", then this poll comes out immediately after that! It makes it really hard to defend the Quick Polls, you know? I mean asking such a question in a translators poll... In general, fans of zombie movies and translators are not in the same boat. The intellectual levels are quite different.

23 have responded, while today's poll about rates, has been much less successful. I too kind of like the odd "fantasy poll" on the weekend - often they give more food for thought, than say, a survey question about CAT tools | | | Are you a troll? | Feb 27, 2017 |

When will it happen? | Feb 27, 2017 |
Just so as I can prepare myself. 2020? And how would translating help us to prepare for it?
