It is rather prudish though (it can't cope with any word in a rush of expletives, thank goodness). As for DNS in a CAT tool - it does speed things up, and with proper use of termbases you can't really put a foot wrong.

I had to answer "other" because I don't know, and I haven't tried it, yet. But I do think a lot about it. I only didn't take time for a trial.

So I will surely start that soon, and practice it. I'm 50 now, and I cannot afford to waste time with this kind of thing. Retirement for us is something very unstable and uncertain.

BTW, a decent question always revives our hope in this forum, though pretty rare. Congratulations.
