passt hier

Danke, aber ich bin wegen der Formulierung nicht sicher...
As common amongst farm animals...??

common passt hier nicht

@ 3: Spinn nicht rum. Mach lieber einen besseren Vorschlag.

Danke Dir!! Das passt super...

@ 4

No, and you shouldn't make any suggestions because your current suggestion is merely a guess disguised as an idiomatic rendering, which it is not.

4 is not idiomatic.

@ kat1702
If you use mad's awful suggestion, you will only end up looking stupid.

as it is typical of

Noch eine Variante. (# 6, 7: Troll Dich!)

Agree mad. It fits perfectly. Great translation.

My version would maybe be: Livestock serve their own purpose.

@1703. What what? Disruptive.

Danke für die Unterstützung. Keep up the good work!

@mad: what kat1703 presumably objects to (though for some reason could not be bothered to explain) is that you don't need it, i.e. As is common/normal rather than As it is common/normal.

@kat1703: that wasn't too difficult, now, was it?

und hat keine Ahnung

und stinkt noch immer

@ mad

You may have fooled one idiot into believing that your suggestion is ok.

"As it is common with farm animals" is not idiomatic at all. It's non-native rubbish, once again.

Your suggestion in 8 is equally rubbish.

You just make it up as you go along. I guess it's quite funny to think that kat1702 will use your rubbish suggestion.

@ Spike

Normally I would do my best to give an explanation as to why it's wrong in my opinion, but I just get fed up with people like mad pretending. They do us all a disservice by churning out sentences and pretending that they are idiomatic.

You are so...

...damn...

@11, Spike BE, I don't find a problem with the "it" in either of mad's alternatives.

They make sense. (#4 and #8). It's not wrong.

Then your ability to judge whether or not something is well written is seriously impaired.
