Should we go ahead and change our sentences structure when we have a chance?

Mental Health Awareness Month (also referred to as "Mental Health Month") has been observed in May in the United States since 1949, reaching millions of people in the United States through the media, local events, and screenings.[1]

i might be crazy but what's wrong with rewriting what is edited?  maybe she feels it's more grammatically correct, she is the editor, i suppose.

let me guess, this is what she had you rewrite:

you: Duma of PH is retarded.
her: Duma, an active member of Pebhmong is mentally challenged.

Then she just change it...

Mine sounds better but she says it don't sound good.

I went through all 15k posts and those 2 quotes I found were the only ones so I guess that would make it "everytime".  Feel free to go through all 15k posts and verify by quoting them all.  You need to quote them all to verifying prove "everytime".   Please verify that Im wrong.

Share the sentence with us.

I agree with highway.

It might not seem like a big deal to you but your boss will be accountable if something goes amiss. You'd be surprised at how many people are confused, need clarification, must be hand held, etc.
