I've always wondered if I could start a business in Japan doing nothing
but proofreading technical manuals. No translation (2 semesters of
nihongo doesn't quite cut me out or that), but it seems anyone with a
basic understanding of grammar could improve their attempts at English.
I hope everyone here has seen http://www.engrish.com. It is hilarious,
and even slightly OT.

Face? To do so would be to admit that they don't use English well.
