alexpgpI am currently busier than a one-armed, one-legged paperhanger engaged in a butt-kicking contest to see who gets to bail the water out of a submerged submarine equipped with the screen door.
(If that makes no sense, well... it was a nice try in the heat of battle!)
I need to finish 6,000 words today!
But I also feel a need to (briefly) rant about (and critique the ancestry of) compilers of documents whose lists of abbreviations nail only stuff like "UN = United Nations" but give no clue for arcane items like "EUGRDS" (I made that up) and force the reader - and in this case, the poor translator - to jump through hoops to gain understanding of what is meant.
Blyech!
We now return to our translation.
Cheers...
