My late pet dog was offered a job
I registered my late pet dog at ALS Linguist Lounge recently. He was invited for an assessment and I did not reply, however, on 20th March he received a job offer and the following is the e-mail message received:
I have removed the details that ALS could use to identify my late dog. Clearly it says that the job matches my skills. I am asking which skills and whose skills. And yet, ALS claims on Channel 4 News that all their interpreters are qualified. What are they talking about? They can't even say that all their interpreters are human beings, as many people have registered their pets.
