this one damned sad..
the Tamil text comes back, we bring it to one of our Indian
officers who corrects the thing.. back it comes, it looks the same
but the word is different.. pictogram also useless 
i learnt that the hard way when i tried to "proofread" Bengali..
the pictograms look the same, but little bits make the word
different 
and to add to the stress levels, the chinese text is perfect long
ago.. now developing problems as it comes back different!
i don't know what the hell is wrong with the vendor...
and the saddest of all, this vendor does typesetting only! the
design, the pictures, the art, are all there drawn by someone else
we commissioned.. Lee Chee Chew who does Chew on it! in the papers,
came up with the artwork and everything in a week! he is probably
the best "vendor" we've ever had..
the translation and typesetting, has dragged on since my injury..
which is in September until now!!
