They had a hard time finding anyone for the money they were paying, and these were seasonal jobs, but the students and whoever would work in the summer were more keen to be on the receiving end of the bottle than to aid its transportation... so instead of increasing the salary, they just renamed the job to make it sound pompous. Don't know whether the trick worked.

>Good to see you posting. I thought maybe you had twit-filtered all of us. You can't leave without finding a replacement language ombudsman, you know.
Most of the time I was just busy or seeing the questions which are already answered in the FAQ or thread itself. And, frankly, I've found, about a year ago, a forum where the political atmosphere is not so... spherical. In Serbian, though - and they have some real linguists :). Imagine when one of the threads was "which language is this" and anyone supplies a mp3 or a youtube sample, to anyone's guessing :).
And know what, it's UTF-8, so anyone can quote anything in any language - I write Cyrillic there. I see that we still have
...content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
on all pages here, which is strictly western, to differ from the years of old when UT used to be international. Michel, I'm getting deurinated. This takes about five minutes to fix in the template(s), and the rest is, I assume, already ready - if it worked fine in dbfs, it will work better on SQL.
