multilingual abbreviations list

[Guest guest]

Dear , Andy and everyone else

I just wanted to make it clear that I have no problem at all with Andy - as

he says, he is a friend of mine and oddly enough grew up in the next small

village to my own in Shropshire. It was a legitimate mistake and the

misunderstanding is largely my own fault as I do not have a statement on

the front page of the list making clear its limited distribution. My

problem is more with a national translators' association which has simply

taken an old version of the list - where they got it from I do not know -

and posted it on their own website without acknowledgement.

Several people have now written to me asking for a copy, and I will be

sending them the pdf at the weekend, after I've gone through the list

again, as I periodically do, making additions and looking for errors.

I can't really claim any 'copyright' on abbreviations, but as I said

previously, I would like to keep some kind of control, in the interests of

improving the breadth and quality of the list.

Sorry for the delayed reply - I only get the Digest.
