writeaway Dec 17, 2010:
definitely check the glossary before posting such terms. No other term has been asked as often as this one. No need to add it yet again to the glossary.
Bourth (X) Sep 29, 2010:
To whom it may concern Run a ProZ Term Search and read the debate (loads of it).
AllegroTrans Sep 29, 2010:
