Our highly esteemed artist's brilliance is particularly shown in treating the leather. The traditional way is quite distinguished from the nowadays' usage of the artificial chemicals.
And as those ancient dames moved about gaily, though in the jaws of the whale, as you may say; even so, in a shower, with the like thoughtlessness, do we nowadays fly under the same jaws for protection; the umbrella being a tent spread over the same bone.

“I am tired of having to translate their illogical Japanese reports into English.”
These reports are written by engineers who have no training or background in technical writing, so that naturally the reports often have numerous logical flaws.
I suppose the engineers would never imagine how difficult it is to translate these barely understandable reports into English.

These reports are written by engineers wth no training or background in technical writing, so that naturally the reports often contain numerous logical flaws.
The plight of poor souls who must struggle to tranlate these barely understandable reports into Enblish wouldn't even occur to the smug engineers.
Transator's Comment: A note about the "author" of this article, TANAKA Sakai. He's sort of a pseudo-crank journalist.
But unlike a real crank, he can't come up with any interesting conspiracy theory of his own.
His strength (or weakness) comes from the fact that he doesn't have the ability to think for himself, and his total disregard for consistency.
He simply cannot judge and dismiss quack conspiracy theories, even when it sneaks up his asshole in the form of a snake (not that it does so very often, but even when it did).

2 Who is Garth Yanashita ?
Garth Yanashita is one of the multi personality of Kiichiro Yanashita (There's another split personality called Morihiko Magari). The name is deprived from the famous duo Wayne Cambell and Garth Argar of the movie Wayne's World.

When Wayne and Garth come together they'll make the other more stupid, and they become the super stupid film critic,Fabulous Barker Boys. Their film review can read in the theatrical booklet for the 007:Casino Royale and so on.
Between Coordinate Adjectives
Coordinate adjectives are those that carry equal weight—like co-workers in an organization. It doesn't matter which comes first because they both have equal emphasis. It does not matter which order coordinate adjectives appear in.
EXAMPLE:
Willy had a long, bushy beard.
Willy had a bushy, long beard.
It does not matter which comes first: long or bushy. These are coordinate adjectives. Notice the comma between the adjectives.
NOT Between Cumulative Adjectives
Cumulative adjectives build their meaning in one particular order. You can not switch them around and still make sense.
EXAMPLE:
Willy wore his black basketball shoes.
Willy wore his basketball black shoes. (This sounds silly, doesn't it?)
The order of black and basketball does matter; black must appear first in the sentence. These are cumulative adjectives: they build their meaning in one order only. Notice there is no comma between them.

Election In Play, From Pres. Race To Senate
By Eddie Pells, Associated Press Writer

DENVER (AP) The Republican-leaning state of Colorado was very much in play Tuesday, with some polls showing Democrat John Kerry within range of President Bush and the race for an open Senate seat expected to come down to just a few percentage points.
Adding to the intrigue was a ballot measure that would immediately split up ...
I swear I never heard this expression "So, the state of xxx is still very much in play" 4 years ago.
How the quotes are used throughout the following article (they are not sarcastic/ironic quotes) also suggests that this use is new.
Arizona acts not like state 'in play'
Robert Robb
The Arizona Republic

Postscript thoughts about the Arizona election:
• Tell me again the one about Arizona being "in play" in the presidential race.
In 2000, George W. Bush took the state by the registration margin Republicans then had over Democrats, about 5 percent. advertisement
In 2004, although both parties had lost registration share to independents, Republicans still maintained about a 5 percent advantage over Democrats. Yet Bush carried the state by twice the registration differential, or 10 percent.
According to the Arizona exit poll, 14 percent more self-described Republicans turned out to vote than Democrats.
Those aren't the characteristics of a state "in play."
