Cheers, KGB!



Here is an attempt to correct the following passage:


Personne nj ..... plus et on m'a-
Personne ni ..... plus et on ma-
Nobody .... ...... any more and I was
assuré que madame estait bien incomodé
assuré que madame était bien incomodé.
told that Madame was seriously ill.


which should perhaps read:


Personne nj estait plus et on m'a-
Personne n'y était plus et on ma-
Nobody understood the problem any more and I was
assuré que madame estait bien incomodé
assuré que madame était bien incomodé.
told that Madame was seriously ill.

Great great job Florian ! I just recognized 5 percents of these words coming from my ancestral mother tong ! ;-)
The subject of this letter seems to have no interest. Less than 40usd :-) but your job require more than that!
Congrats.

Cheers, SBP! To me it's just like doing crosswords to other people. What I cannot manage at one sitting (which is usually the case) I leave until much later on - it can well be 2 or 3 weeks later. Then I give it another look with fresh eyes and brain. It's just recreation to a man slowly approaching his eighties.
