beccaelizabethsome people really do not get along with the English language.
plots more hole than net and people with motives that presumably make sense to the author yet resemble what I know of humanity not at all are also problems
but it's somehow easier to ignore that stuff than speech patterns made of clunk or English where someone learned from listening and possibly needs their hearing tested.
ones that seem to have been through google translate twice are so not-English it's just unfortunate rather than jarring. once it's that bad it seems likely they have good excuse.
today I am cranky and tired.
I tried to distract myself with story and it was all different varieties of awful.
woe is me for the universe does not cater to my whims.
