At this point, I usually try to see what lesson I can learn from a situation. But I can't think of one. I didn't find these people on Google.

What happened was the person who would regularly do the proofreading had a family emergency, and I suspect that her office outsourced the job.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
