ME SPEAK ENGLISH GOODLY.
Update on my previous complaint about the company who insisted on correcting my corrections, even though they're wrong wrong wrong:

No matter how many times we tried to explain that we MADE THE CORRECTIONS FOR A REASON, the company refused to accept them and told us that we had to correct the document the way that they wanted.

Minako-chan: But... these were, like, GRAMMATICAL mistakes.
Boss: Yeah, and the spelling mistakes, too. But...
Minako-chan & Boss: [sigh]

None of us can understand it, seriously. So we're making all of the corrections, but we're sending comments for the places that are just plain wrong wrong wrong. That's not counting sentences that are awkward or written with poor style or technically not wrong but not 100% correct either (I could argue that jewelry goes around your wrist or neck, not your wrist and neck [unless, of course, your company is in the habit of producing combination bracelet-necklaces] but I really can't be bothered to nitpick at this stage in the game, so they can keep their stupid "and"). So I'm not entirely happy. But by focusing on areas that are blatently wrong, this will hopefully drive home the idea that, surprisingly enough, we know what we're doing when we make corrections, and hopefully they'll cut us more slack in the future. SIGH.
