      Hi Sajan, thanks for your comment.
      I used a website called Topsy.com for that. You can search there different tweets by hashtags for any period of time and it also shows you the number of retweets and mentions. That's how I came up with this list. I chose tweets that were retweeted no less than 6 times. In fact, a few of these tweets were retweeted and mentioned more than 60 times.

Hope you do, too ;) Rudyard Kipling was fired as a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner. His dismissal letter said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the English language. This isn't a kindergarten for amateur writers." No language has more synonyms than English.

Insider Insights from the German Translation Market

By
It seems from current trends that the German translation market is becoming more and more important as time goes on. Due to an apparent increase in demand, the German Book Office in New York recently arranged a workshop for new and current German English translators. It’s keen to support the growing army of German to English translators, particularly those that are involved in literary translations. Is Literary Translation More Challenging Than Any Other Translation Task?
