It shouldn't have to be said, but unless you are a lolcat:

SINGULAR SUBJECT, SINGULAR VERB. PLURAL SUBJECT, PLURAL VERB.

...And if you are a lolcat, you should not be translatin at all.

It would be awesome if there was a real LOLcat Translation Agency, though. (Just... not regular translators moonlighting as LOLcats at regular translation agencies like this.)

Can you go back to the people you're doing this for and explain to them how many hours it ACTUALLY took you and dis-recommend their current translators? Seriously. They should be PAYING you for the work you're doing - all of it - and not people who don't know basic English grammar.

Oh, I intend to. I'm so exhausted right now, though, I don't have the energy to compose the lengthy diatribe I'd like to. A shorter note will have to suffice and I'll hope there will still be plenty of time to complain after I've slept for 13 more hours and bathed for one or two. And indulged in some retail therapy.
