This was tweeted about by the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP,
UK):

The second things that struck me as funny was the language of the blog post
itself, which rather sounds like it was translated from German (the pen is
German made).

I can only imagine a conversation between a novice editor and her client,
as she offers to get out her vibrator, er, pen, to resolve a grammar issue.
