Try dict.leo.org for a very, very good English/German dictionary!

Well, you'd have to assume that we meet; you cannot complain if you see
me then  ;-) It's just a warning so that you won't be surprised seeing
me when you expect someone else :-)

Karl, this is real life (tm). In real life there are more then black and
white. We need some time to move from the "old" to the "new" objectives
and cannot let this on one single day. We do have more than the English
exams, we need to pilot items, ...

Since the "old" objectives are a subset of the reviewed ones, if you
prepare yourself for the updated ones then you will succeed regardless
of the exams.

(It is also a security issue because we try to give as less as possible
informations about our exact form rotation dates.)

Regards,

Taki
