‘Tis to laugh.
I’m not going to dox myself by linking on Amazon to my translations. But I’ll give you a freebie. Give me a paragraph of French, maybe from some literary classic, and I’ll give you a paragraph of translation, to show you how good I really am.
Just as I showed you guys how good I am at poker, a challenge also sparked in this thread: starting a SDMB poker league and holding the number one ranking (out of 8 contestants) every week but one so far. Speaking of which, poker is about as purely objective a method to match wits as anything I can think of, for people who tangle with each other online and talk smack about each other. You want to rebut my claimsintellectual hegemony? Then come and try to beat me. There is luck in the short term; but over time, results will out.
