Poll Discussion Poll: How do you pronounce the *ProZ* in ProZ.com? Pro-Zed Until I heard somebody else calling it "proze", I
had never realized it could stand for "pros", thus
"professionals"! And I believe this is confirmed
by the number of people who answer suc

Poll Discussion Poll: Do you ever work through the night? Never!! And I would never do it. The maximum I stayed finishing an urgent
translation was until 1:30 a.m. I always have to
sleep. When I'm working past 11:00 pm, I'm already
feeling tired, sleepy and I simply do not work<

Poll Discussion Poll: Does whether or not a ProZ.com user shows his/her real name affect how you view that person? Yes, I think it does Not from my point of view, though, because I load
into PROZ every day and so I am getting accustomed
to see all sorts of names. But when my husband

Poll Discussion Poll: Is it possible for ProZ.com to control minimum rates? The question is if it's possible. Well, many things are possible in the world of
computers and programming! PROZ has all the

Money matters Looking for translators to cover me while I'm on vacation I agree with this [quote]linaza wrote: to put a team together.
You could post it in the jobs section and explain.

Poll Discussion Poll: How does your workload in 2005 compare to your workload in 2004? 2005 was busier I don't know if it was just a coincidence or what,
but I was a member since the end of 2003 and that
year I didn't get any job. In 2004 I got 2
interpretations and one large translation of

Poll Discussion Poll: Are you in the process of raising your rates? I'm not raising them I already charge a normal/cheap price, so I don't

KudoZ Closing a Question Without Grading I also have that problem sometimes... I don't know why, but I think it's still due to
the New BETA View of Kudoz under test. What you
have to do, in order for that option to appear on
your screen, is to change from Beta View t

Poll Discussion Poll: Apart from going platinum, what ProZ.com activity has boosted your profile views most? I don't know I really don't know if my profile has more or less

Poll Discussion Poll: What will happen to KudoZ when askers are given the option to ask "not-for-points" questions? Won't work good I guess it's very gentle and honest to help people
