Aunque si nos dejamos de tecnicismos legales a eso se le podría llamar mas castizamente "una puñalada trapera", por citar otra entrada del blog, o "una putada en toda regla". <br /><br />Estoy de acuerdo con tu adaptación actualizada ‘the keystrokes are on the screen’!. La verdad es que en los tiempos que corren "ver las orejas al lobo" da miedo, pero lo que empieza a acojonar de verdad es ver asomar el casco amarillo del cartero cada vez que trae un burofax.<br /><br />¡Ay!

I have heard of circumstances where employees of a firm learned they were laid off when they received e-mail stating so. A pretty awful way of delivering such a message. Perhaps we should modernize the phrase into something like ‘the keystrokes are on the screen’!Pete Zebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430539194693207735noreply@blogger.com
