You mean my QC? Hey, the shotgun method is good. The shotgun method works.......sort of.

Of course, you know I have nothing but humor at my arabic "skills". It was a funny situation. But whenever you seek quantity over quality, I'm your man.

I never ever sought out Arabic words. I was too scared of ending up sitting rack and having GUS as a mentor.

Now you're just being silly, Dave.

1) When GUS was here, we never even considered putting a non-target linguist on pos for longer than 15 minutes.
2) When we were considering that sort of thing (hi, NBS!), GUS wasn't here.

Sad that when GUS left, the only thing left to do was put a non-linguist on rack.
The funny thing about that? X-SPC NBS got consistently better collection than GUS ever did.
