but I know someone whose name is Lisa, and I know what quality means. Philippe | | |
Never heard of it... P.S. Regarding QA (proofreading/editing/reviewing or whatever you call it) I work regularly with 2 revisers (one internal and one external) and though I prefer translating I also occasionally revise others’ work and none of us has ever heard of LISA.

I know that a "metric" (noun) something to do with measuring. However, quality assurance sounds like something that would be rather difficult to measure. In other words, it sounds a bit new-age and/or business speak to me. As a freelancer, my quality assurance usually consists of showing my draft to a competent friend or colleague and asking if they think it's up to scratch. | |

Are you writing an article to explain it once the poll is closed ? (too lazy to spontaneously look up for it ) | | |
Is this an advertisement? | | |
