Hello,

My name is Wiley Clements (or wiclem). I am a retired developer of HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) and a sometime amateur poet, though with a couple of books in print and a great many magazine publication credits. I have registered here in order to ask a question.

When, in English translations of other-language literature on this website, we notice the translator has, in narrative rather than in dialogue or dialect, made a mistake in English grammar, such as a using pronoun of the wrong case or employing "like" where an "as" phrase is required, "lay" for "lie" or vice-versa, or else when we come upon typos or misspellings, does the site management wish to receive corrections? If so, what is the e-mail address or other procedure for communicating such corrections?

I admit to being a little persnikity about English grammar, at least enough to want to correct some of the common as well as the more egregious errors I sometimes see, even in translations made by native speakers of English.

Thanks,

wiclem
