That should be "whose".


Awwwww, c'mon.... How do you know the mistake wasn't deliberate to draw
attention away from any possible errors in that translation?

That would have been clever of me, but actually I have been careful to
write "who's"--even when it looked odd--in the belief that I learned
that "whose" was an erroneous spelling. I see Webster's Ninth
Collegiate supports only "whose," not even listing "who's," so I think
I'll go back.

I've been known to write "your's", and there's a concerted effort
amongst certain people to stomp on me whenever I write "no-one"....


Speaking of the translation, it occurred to me after spending like 4
hours and 13 minutes rendering it....

*ouch* That's going way beyond the call of duty. I'd sort-of assumed
you'd run it off while waiting for the kettle to boil, or something.
It'd probably have taken me longer because I don't know the subject
matter.
