TelegramI clocked on earlier this week to this message: “Valeeeeeen a translation trouble. If I’m being honest, I think this is more a question of cultural differences than translation trouble because I guess the understandable question was, who even uses actual telegrams anymore? By law, when you leave one job (by choice or not), you go to the Post Office and fill out a form to send a free telegram to your soon-to-be former employer. You’re allowed a maximum of 25 words, which the Post Office then plugs into its telegraph system; the message you wrote out is placed in a sealed letter and delivered in person. Share your thoughts and translation hang-ups with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!
