A proper Indian Powwow, at last! Apr 26, 2023

Where is that usual/inevitable "...offensive appropriation of a term of great cultural importance to Indians" post? Why hasn't that Finnish Geronimo dropped by to draw our attention to this vile effrontery? Is it because, for once, Proz got this right and is organizing the event in India for Indians? You know, the place and people that got Columbus confused?

Aren't you the polyglot extraordinaire? No wonder you was busy, working in dozens of language pairs, raking in the dough, but still finding the time to advocate for the Indian cause...

The next consequential step, to get things right, would be organizing a "London" powwow in Chisinau, to meet all the "London" based outsourcers. Will we meet there, Baran?

LOL!!! If Proz BB is anything to go by, there must be more translations agencies run by Eastern Europeans (with PMs located in Chisinau of course) than there are Kebab shops run by Turks or Arabs in the fair city of London. I wonder where the bloody hell they find all that prime real estate right in the middle of that super expensive city. No doubt offering 3 cents per word to the willing bottom feeders help them pay the rent...

It's hilarious. A pow-wow (misuse of a term that is offensive to all Native Americans- also offensively referred to as "Indians") to be held in the actual INDIA.

Once you earn a heap from MTPE, you’ll have a budget to attend all the Powwows (what a word) around the world.

I hope these guys will serve the awesome Indian food, have some for me!

I fully agree with Mr Satan here:

Maybe Proz staff is able to do that in order to avoid members from other countries to make comments of that kind and behave like children...?

Members who organise these get-togethers don't have the choice to use a different term for "pow-wow" and they don't have another way to deal with such very sensitive persons.

PS: Jyotsna, I'm sorry for invading your thread.

Have great time together!

I won't be able to visit the meeting in person but feel free to share my contacts with all the participants. I'm open to new business offers, and I will accept INR (India national currency) instead of USD or EUR.
