I really appreciate you guys subtitling this drama, but I'd like to make one very important suggestion: you need to use a grammar and spell checker before you release your subs.... There's numerous errors that are more than a little annoying when I watch the drama...
I hope you don't take it the wrong way... It's constructive criticism.

Hey bmwraces.
Don't worry,critisism is always welcomed.
I know that my English isnt't perfect but I don't think I have many grammar or spelling mistakes.
After I finish subbing every episode I watch it all over once again and correct all of the spelling mistakes(and there are a lot).
I may miss on 2 or 3 but I don't think it's a big deal.
I would like though to get better at it. If it's possible, tell me some things that annoyed you at episode 6.
Maybe next time I may be able to avoid some of them.
By the way Wwaldo37 is editing by subtitles.You can find episode 6 on page 8.I haven't checked the differences between my subs and his but I guess he corrects those annoying grammar/spelling mistakes I make.

I don't use any program for spell checking since a lot of times I make mistakes on purpose in order to convey the exact thing that is being said.
For example Keita says " Me, mamon's boyfriend"? which I translate Mmme, mamon's boyfriend?" because that's just how he says it.
I also twist the grammar order a lot so I can convey exactly what is being said because as many of you know the English grammar is like the opposite of the Japanese grammar. That's why I don't use any grammar checking program either since it would have unwilling corrections.
But you didn't answer my question. What mistakes that I made annoyed you?
I would like to hear opinions about this from others too.

I think you pointed that out in your post: when you twist the grammar to convey what is being said exactly, it looks and reads awkwardly... At least to a native English speaker like me...
IMO, the translations don't always have to be exact as long as the feeling/mood/thought comes through....

To bmwracer:
Since it is in soft subs, why don't you correct it for your own use. I myself don't mind some grammer error and such as long as I can I understand the drama much better than just listening to Japanese.
To ZeeSeeS:
Thank you very much for the translation. I can understand the drama much better.

I happen to like the mmmE? type of things, adds flavour. As long as its not done every other line, or excessive extras but thats not your fault, more so the director.
