Thank you Sep 22, 2016

Nice reading, thank you.

However, I have another point of view. Isn't it cultural expressions that make the language vibrant and 'spicy'? And as soon as they are, I believe, we as translators and language lovers should value them more than just common phrases and idioms. Yes, they may be too 'hot' or tough, but a hell... well, it's more about your personal perception, I guess. Try to change your attitude and treat them with fun and creativity.
