Re: Personality traits(2):

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your preparedness to help!

I sent a note to the client and he replied that this was a kind of a joke, just

to begin

the presentation (actually, this is the second slide after the title). He asked

me to

leave the whole slide untranslated.

The sense of this joke remains obscure to me. The author seems not to be a

native English

speaker.

I hate translating presentations. They are full of hastily written sentences and

fragmented expressions with misleading punctuation.

Thank you again for your efforts,

No, the first slide is just the " title page "

I think that Annie was obliquely referring to the fact that if you

add " over " to each of the words they make a bit more sense:

oversexed

overjoyed

overeager

overcareless??

overdue

overseas
