Really, I'd need a biologist, since I'm doing a degree in astronomy :) (Hence all the Calculus and Physics studying). Out of curiosity, what does your friend work on? Sorry if I seem nosy, it's just you don't meet astrophysicists every day (or hear of them from friends). I also find it interesting that she majored in astrophysics - in Argentina at least my university is one of the few that doesn't make me get a physics degree first and then specialize, so I wondered how it works in the US.
Not always, of course, and in can make for some real howlers, but if you have a similar word for the same thing in two of them, it's often also alike in French. Like, say, verb(E) - verbo(S) - verbe(F).
I know, it's just... frustrating. I've got a first draft, finally, and I'm letting it stew for a bit before taking another look. My brain was trying to do the English to Spanish, definitely. Leading to ocasional "Shut up, MS Word, that is a word... oh, wait... Yes, you are for once quite right. I'm using Spanglish" moments, lol.
