I greatly appreciate Blizovsky and the scientist, but there are too many typing/spelling/writing/wording errors that undermine the confidence in the accuracy of the presentation of the scientific topic. I got tired and gave up reading. Maybe I'll come across the English original someday. Thanks

How do you translate MATE?
write "a beetle that made love" consider writing "a lawnmower who felt unrewarded"
Is the percentage of Jews significant among the grooms and brides of this award?
