Post title: Very sad news
Nicole was a great contributor and I'm very sorry I missed meeting her in person in Berlin (I went off that afternoon to see the street and house where my SO's father had grown up).
Nicole's posts and following are a stirring example of what articulate writing can accomplish in reaching people and generating satisfying debate. I join many others who perceived her as a model, in my case I saw her as a model of the combination of specialization, collaboration, and creativity that is necessary for translation to paradoxically stand out and remain in the background, not perceived as "translation." Though it was a minor area for her, I will particularly remember her comments on "knowing your orthography," which came at a time when I felt as if I would go mad over German rules being applied to English. Nicole stiffened my resolve to resist "just going along," and I really appreciate it.
My sincere condolences to her family, friends, and close associates especially.
