Am never going to get caught up with the flist. Leave me a comment if you've written/ seen anything you think would interest me, OK?

Also, have a snippet of Leonard Cohen lyrics I've got stuck in my head just now:

It's written in the scriptures
It's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love

I like that rather a lot.

ETA: I hate copy-editing, especially my own translations. I have the feeling that I no longer have any sprachgefühl speech feeling sense of English usage (see what I mean?), at least for academic prose, which unfortunately is what I'm trying to produce. Also, I have somehow managed to turn the language setting in Word off, permanently, for the document I'm reviewing. This is annoying, especially as when I want to turn it off for blocks of Middle High German or Latin, it won't stay off and keeps autocorrecting my endings into gibberish....

I have heard enough horror stories about recent versions of Word to last me a lifetime. I am glad that most of my documents are still cast in the 97 form.
