I often reply under Japanese posts, and I always assume users will use a translator as I do, but maybe in the context of a Japanese instance or conversation this may look rude?

thanks for literally devaluing all the work of my fellow translators and i that was stolen by Google and Bing and all the other crawlers/thieves.

it's the same as with artists' work being stolen by Stupid Diffusion and the rest.

not mad at you of course. but calling it free was too good a match for devaluing to pass up.

Think of it this way.

There's an actual medical condition known as Chauffeur's fracture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauffeur%27s_fracture

Back in the day, before the invention of the self starting engine, drivers would have to hand crank the cars, and sometimes a backfire would cause a particular type of injury.

Also, there's a great line in the movie "The Interpreter" with Nicole Kidman.

Two UN interpreters are chatting about work. "I had a good one today. The American said it was "pie in the sky." "

"Oh, that's a tough one. What did you use?"

"Castles in Spain."

"Nice."
