Since this is a pretty good question, why doesn't that person display her/his name? Or is this anonymous a hint at the invisible translator?

In particular, phobia against polls which don't enable us to vote for "some or all of the above" where apropriate.

Non-native-marketbusterophobia would be high on my list…

It's no fun if you vote for "some or all of the above". You have to choose one. Take some of these polls with a pinch of salt and a light heart.

The worst of all is Subpeanutsrateophobia. A new development in PT/EN translation here in Brazil is: Ispentaweekindisneyandilldoitforfreeophobia.

| Mistakephobia | Nov 28, 2017 |
Not to say that any mistakes get through, but the fear of making a mistake on critical documents should motivate every professional to take special care to double check their work.
Unfortunately, when I have had to outsource work I have too often found that colleagues don't always double check their work and mistakes get through - I mean serious mistakes in transferring meaning, not mere typos and grammar.
I'm surprised this wasn't one of the options.

And, for something in keeping with the season:
