PhraseBook -- Out of the loop, again...al margen, de nuevo

Question

Another heartfelt "thanks" to everyone who is indicating duplicates in the Phrasebook.

I go to that tab at least once a day and try to edit, approve, or delete everything that has gotten to that point.

For some reason, our dial-up has been slow as molasses the past three days, and it has been almost impossible to delete any of those duplicates. Edits have been easier to do, but anything that has to be deleted has been taking about 5 minutes per phrase. I decided that I will wait to do the deletions, but will continue on the edits.

However, we will be driving to our regular home on Wednesday, and I should be back on broadband on Thursday, possibly Friday if there is a glitch in restoring service.

I mention this solely to let those of you who have devoted hours to helping on the Phrasebook that the current mini backlog will be resolved by the end of the week. (yippee!)

In the meantime, feel free to continue to browse through the "suggested" tab to check for duplicates.

You guys are great!

Mountaingirl,

The work you are doing with the Phrasebook would be amazing if you were working with high speed internet. The fact that you are doing what you are doing with "dial up" is nothing short of incredible. Have you been praying for patience? I'm sure the circumstances you are working under will definitely build your character as well as your patience....but then again, you already had both.

Thank you so much for all you do. Thank you also for everyone who has worked tirelessly to get this Phrasebook organized!!!

We have a great group of people here!!!

Oh, Nicole, I must confess to a couple of bouts with rage...:( I was not proud of myself. Manana sera otro dia! Also, Heidita and Marianne have been going above and beyond the call of duty...as have all of you. Mil gracias! - mountaingirl123, Sep 13, 2010

Hi Mountaingirl, You really must have the patience of Job. This is the second message I have tried and I have high speed internet. The pages are jumping around in the middle of the message. It was really fun making flashcards...again...and again. Don't you worry about the backlog. We can wait until you get your fast connection. You have been doing a tremendous job on all those phrases and we really appreciate your faithfulness to the phrasebook. Thank you so much!

I must confess also to wanting to throw the computer out the window, but I already have one computer down - sanlee, Sep 14, 2010

I was just thinking about one of the first phrasebook sentences I did for the phrase, "Yessiree Bob". I translated it as "Sí, Sénor, Bob". - sanlee, Sep 14, 2010
