    Hi all!

    I'm doing a translating job at the moment and there is a few sentences that I've some problems translating in french, I hope you can help with that:

    they have a tumor on their funny bone.
    I would translate it by:
    elles ont une tumeur sur leurs drôle d'os.

    They say cheap objective vocation isn’t witty -- it’s hot!
    I would translate it by:
    Elles disent que les vocations objectives ne sont pas subtiles -- mais sexy!

    They're far too sensitive to ever be a ham,
    I would translate it by:
    Elles sont bien trop sensible pour être une femme de maison


    Thank you in advance that would be really helpful!

    Am I being thick? Isn't "elles ont" plural? Shouldn't you use elle?

    Well she's talking about womens in general that's why I put it in plural.
