Conversely, around this time last year I was "invited not to apply for my own job", due to them cunningly making a one word change to my job description[1] [1] s/English/French in the sentence "must be fluent in English" -- d.

Thomas escribió: > One of the great things I learned recently in Spain is the Spanish > word for "retired." Jubilado. It comes from the same root as jubilant. Participle of "Jubilar" from the latin "iubilāre", meaning to complete 50 years service. In Spanish it means retire someone from their work after the normal length of working life. "Jubilarse" pronominal version "to retire". From "jubileo" (latin iubilaeus - hebrew šĕnat hayyōbēl) it also means something about religion (again, to do with 50 years). Is Des reading this? He might know. OED Jubilant - "Making a joyful noise, rejoicing with songs and acclamations; now generally, Making demonstrations of joy, exultingly glad." Am I boring anyone? -- Paul.
