My husband just received some reviews of a paper on which he is a co-author, and there are a couple real gems here.
First: “Please improve English uses in the paper.”
And later: “Introduction can concise.”
While I appreciate where they’re going with this (and there were more similar comments), I think the pot needs to brush up on some grammar before pointing at the kettle.
I also blog at Engineer Blogs, home away from home to some of the best engineering blogs.

For some reason this reminds me of my time in Duo Interp when the judges would give us comments like:
“Your introduction is too long.”
“You need an introduction.”
[cough] Okay, then. We’ll get right on that.
