ANGRY!
I was just browsing the net, feeling placid and a bit tired. Then I stumbled into something and--voila! I snapped! Just like that!
A reputable publisher published books for kindergarten students.
Oh sure, what's wrong with that, you might ask.
Well! The titles are:
1. LET'S DRAWING, COLORING, READING & WRITING OF ABC
2. ENGLISH FOR CHILD
What the--? And these books are supposed to be read by small children! Poor children, they'll read these titles and be corrupted forever!
Gosh! Surely a reputable publisher like this can hire editors with DECENT English?!
(By the way, if you read the titles above and feel nothing--not even a glimmer of emotions--congratulations! You'll probably live much longer than I am. A stickler that I am can get EXTREMELY PISSED just by reading titles like these.)

wah, you are trying to be funny he...
trying to mimic the incorrect english of the reputable publishers...Being a writer that you are, this must be rather difficult, haha!
Do you ever write "incorrect" language in your novels on purpose? I just loved the passages from "everything is illuminated" - so funny, so genuine.
This means... there's still a job for me when I return hehehehe....
