"I’m not going to tell you whether I am state or federally certified because all you rabid truth-seekers out there would pounce on that clue and try to make something of it." I, for one, would certainly make something of it if you didn't pass the exam, yet are interpreting in federal court. Your attitude bugs me. There is a reason people are made to take exams. We are talking about people's lives here, not traffic tickets. I have two functional hands; it doesn't make me a concert pianist. Harumph! Hmm…

Although interpreting is a great career is very misunderstood, specially here in south Florida where everybody thinks they speak Spanish and where interpreters are mistreated and underpaid. Hi there,
