The question Mar 29, 2017

... as I understand it is about individual subtasks of translation, such as "read Style Guide - 1 hour" or "re-read this entire text - at most until it's time to go to the football match" or "spellchecking - at most 1 minute per screenful". Which I guess some people do, but I'm far too much of a feral freelancer for this kind of BS.
