Hi! Yup, been a combo of "got my raise" and "working some OT shifts" lately that my need for Turking slipped a bit.

That and getting awfully tired of doing surveys.

 

Does anyone do the other language A9s? I speak Spanish so I can get the gist of the Italian for the most part. And it's clear to see what they want on these, that's not shady right?

 

what unspeakable mess happened to your avatar

 

lol I still had that tab open

 

Don't use the Facebook or Twitter apps on your phone, just use a browser. I've been doing this for months.

 

language proficiency is more than knowing words, I wouldn't do CI's if I wasn't a native or full speaker of that language.

Spoiler

(not that that stops anybody)

 

oh it's milk not a chicken vomiting into that hippos mouth

I'll have you know I spent HOURS (5 minutes) slaving away at that avatar harrumph

 

Debatable. I interpret proficient as - like pretty darn good at speaking it. However, it's pretty clear that it's not really completely needed to do the HITs. Whether they're ok with you doing them - who knows. Many people here seem to do them for languages they only have a mild highschool education on. My opinion is that they actually want people fluent - or else they wouldn't specifically ask for proficiency in the HIT title.

They generally respond to messages sent to them - you could try asking.
