Good catch Teresa Clearly. The R and T keys are side by side.
Plantas tobustas? Shouldn't it be Robustas?
Ward Whittaker Nov 22, 2014:
The rhythm of language and it's Latin origins. I have to say this because I see it time and time again from experienced translators. I don't understand how experienced translators in this language pair don't understand the rhythm of Portuguese and it's Latin roots. I had NEVER seen this word and nor did I know what it meant BUT I did know that the structure of the word in Portuguese requires only that the e at the end be removed to reveal the English word. Research people please. These types of questions are too simple to require placing on Proz.
