Sloppy on multiple levels.

The poor English doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the company. I realize the company is from an area of the world that is not generally English-speaking, but geez, to respond to something as serious as this surely you can run your blog response by at least one native speaker to sanity check it before posting it.

But worse than that is the story they are seemingly trying to sell is that this is one random dude's fuckup -- which may very well be true, but that this could happen as the result of one random dude's fuckup speaks volumes about lack of much-needed process to deal with this sort of certificate responsibility.



I think the main problem with giving it to someone else to sanity check is that if your own English isn't good, you'll have a hard time gauging someone else's English speaking skills.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did give it to someone who they thought spoke English well.


I do like the lines "the best of bread solutions" and "the sack of unintentional action" though.


This is an Egyptian company. I had many expat friends when I lived there I will tell you beyond the most elite multinational corps no one sees the point.

You should see sandwich menus. I was saying, English correction per word, if people saw the value, would make me a successful small business owner in about 3 years. Haha.
