You are never going to believe this, but it's true.
I was called on at work to translate!
The phone rings... it is one of my friends in the department that handles documents and procedures. She had found out some time back that I know French. And on this particular day, she suddenly needed my help with the herculean task of translating
or
A few moments' mental rummaging pulled up the world she needed. To my delight, I realized we would not even need to translate the entire 2-letter word to get it into French. Just change the last letter to "u" (and not even a "u" with an accent, at that).
ou
So I translated a whole letter from English to French. My dream finally came true. I was needed to translate at work!
