-----------------------------------

I was recently asked by a prospective client how many words I had translated over the course of my career. 

And so I did some
serious math: approximately 187500 per year over the course of 20 years yields
a rather impressive number (even if I say so myself) of 3 750 000!

That's roughly an
equivalent of having translated:

- 24 Homer's
Odysseys,

- 5,5 Tolkien's trilogies
and about

- 4 King James's
Bibles,

  and then some…
