nothing like reading other people's bitching

Another amusing article by a translator. I laughed at this part:

There is an opposite problem: the in-house Japanese employee who has all day, every day, to putter about, painstakingly taking apart translations commissioned to an outside company and done by competent native speakers. When the part-time checker comes in, he proudly hands over 12 pages of native-speaker translation—with 45 to 50 of his footnotes objecting to the English.

I've been reading the Mirage doujinshi I had bought in Japan (finally). OMG, they are so damn amusing. Must share when have more time. ^_^

*laughs* And you weren't paranoid about your style before? I am and always will be. It's nice to read about the troubles others have, though.
