I only marked it thrice.

But there's still a chance for him to correct it. I mean, it's not yet in the correct formal format either.
<e_14159>
He also has one figure which simply says "Source: Nature", at least two figures which I'm pretty sure has been copied from somewhere and not cited, a table which is apparently a screenshot from a drawing program (it still has gridlines in the background; at least he removed those from the other figures), and has apparently corrected his double-citation of Adam (cited the ArXiv paper and the conference paper in two
<e_14159>
different places) by removing one citation but not updating the reference, so it's now [?]

bofh: I legit read that Wikipedia article's line as "It handles about 97% of international visitors to Fiji, of which 85% are terrorists."

I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry, at this point

I have to indulge in my orthography OCD in here :-)
<e_14159>
(I know it's not orthography, but the alliteration was alluring)
<APlayer>
Possibly it is not all too appropriate for this channel, though
<e_14159>
Oh, it probably is. I just have a pent-up desire for correcting people's wording which you got to suffer.

Wait, what?
<e_14159>
I might over-interpret it :-)
<APlayer>
If you mean that, no, your message was not a discomfort to me. ;-) I very much appreciate when my language is corrected, because that's the only way I can improve it. In fact, I feel like people ignore my mistakes more often than they should
<e_14159>
Ah. I know that feeling.
