Picky - yes, but not personal. Picky about the glossary. Too many valuable glossary entries are rendered useless because they contain a typo.
David Rumsey (asker) Oct 21, 2011:
If you are going to get picky... @Nicole. Cut me some slack for a typo! If you're going to get picky and personal, your English isn't that perfect either...
David Hollywood Oct 20, 2011:
and agree with Nicole
Nicole Schnell Oct 20, 2011:
Please make sure that the glossary entry will read: "körperliche Täuschung".

Otherwise, and with two ridiculous typos in two words, it will sound as if the translator should never touch the German language as his source language in the first place. :-)

It's an interview form for mental health It's a mental health questionnaire for people who suffer from schizophrenia.

paresthesia

Although "physical illusions" is the linguistically exact translation of "körperliche Täuschung", the medical language uses "paresthesia". I am attaching a link to a site showing an association between paresthesia and paranoid schizophrenia.
