Wade,

Spelling I think you'll have to live with. However, perhaps the fact that the Russians are not paying enough attention to their grammar is causing you issues with comprehension. (I've just started a new job and can't always understand what my English-speaking predecessor meant because of it.) A little bit of time spent by each of them could/would actually increase your output because you would be able to work more quickly, and it would remove or reduce the likelihood of a major incident because the resultant documentation is fatally wrong, because of the poor level of the original writing.

Just a thought...

Good luck,
Ant

I just started a job at a new company in Sept. Some of the engineers
are Russian and they have problems with their English. Ok, no worries,
but my boss has given them instructions to not worry about grammar,
spelling, or anything else because I will fix it. Editing these
documents puts me on the edge of insanity and I have to take a break
nearly every half a page. How can I tactfully handle telling my boss
how I feel?


Regards,

Wade
