Nonono…

somehow the Sun bods in the Asia/Pacific-rim area have misunderstood the word ‘revert’. We are constantly being asked to revert to if we need more information, etc. I think someone, somewhere has taken all the english dictionaries and replaced the word ‘refer’ with ‘revert’. It is all evil.

Oh, but yeah, the Germans are funny, too. *takes AH’s idea for what to use lj for instead of her usual one*
