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.

1) When GUS was here, we never even considered putting a non-target linguist on pos for longer than 15 minutes.
