I'm with Rapunzel on this one. Sometimes, people will use fancy sounding words to make themselves appear smarter.

The only thing you have to decide is if you, the MT, want to correct the doc. I know in my company that wouldn't go over very well. Any errors in grammar, word use, or spelling remain as is. Pity the poor fool who, no matter how softly, politely, or ever so gently, brings an error to head honcho's attention. You should see our impending web page. Ugh, ugh, ugh.


I brought this over from Q&A to get a bit of input from you folks.

How DO you go about correcting your bosses? Or do you? Seriously, our web page is going to be horrendous. The phrases are convoluted, words are used improperly and proper grammar, well, virtually nonexistent. In the past, when I tried to nudge them in the right direction I was shut out completely. And boy, what aggression. I have tried businesslike, gentle, friendly, firm and every other which way. How do you handle this?

This is something all of our clients are going to see, for heaven's sake. Arghhh.
