Hi Mosnow. Welcome to the forum.

Good catch on that error: It should be "trabajan."

Thank you, Marianne. My first comment to you seems to have disappeared. I probably pressed the wrong button. - mosnow, Mar 23, 2010

That's incorrect. Formal or informal does not matter in this case. - --Mariana--, Mar 23, 2010
Thanks for answering, Caleb. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. I think I'll go with Marianne. - mosnow, Mar 23, 2010
