Yebbut -- and this is a point we should remember about our own work -- the 
English problems were almost certainly put there by a translator. The original, 
in 
Finnish or Urdu or whatever, was probaly fine.

But I've also seen versions of material I've written, with subsequent updates 
by 
other people, that have made my hair curl. I'm glad my name isn't actually on 
the 
cover . . .
