Just one comment, a bit late, I admit, but I hadn't time to read the 
list until now.

If a student from this field mixes up this term, then the student needs 
to read again the books a bit better. The term "dynamic equivalence" is 
as a term within the translational studies clearly described, and used 
only in this way. Using a phrase like "dynamic substitution" should not 
cause any problems, even if the student is only at the beginning of 
their studies (and looking at the calender, they have had already more 
then half a year the time to make acquintance with the terminology).

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be rude, or so. I just find it odd 
that a person from the target group would mix this up.

On the inflection comment I totally agree! But I guess most of the Finns 
know what we're talking about here ;)
