    engThe problem is Mr. Bark, the man whose secretary is away.[orcrist]
    Ah, if it's leading to complaints, I'll let it be in the future. Thanks for the heads up!

    engThe problem is Mr. Bark, the man whose secretary is away.[orcrist]
    I've removed the British English tag.
    (You may get complaints with this kind of change. I have in the past when I made similar changes.)

    engIf you hurry, you will soon overtake her.[orcrist]
    I can't imagine using the original word order (though grammatically it seems OK). A variant with that word order that I consider natural might be "You can soon overtake her if you hurry." Using "can" would be better, in that case, because otherwise you're qualifying a predictive statement ("will") at the last minute with an "if" clause, and we don't normally do that.

    engFinally, I have time to reply to the mail that I have received these past 3 weeks.[CK]
    I didn't correct it the last time I went through the sentences because it was close to correct and I thought perhaps it might be UK English.

    engFinally, I have time to reply to the mail that I have received these past 3 weeks.[CK]

    engFinally, I have time to reply to the mail that I have received these past 3 weeks.[CK]
    as there's already alternative, what do you think about deleting it?

    engIf you hurry, you will soon overtake her.[orcrist]
    Shouldn't this have been an alternate translation rather than a revision?

    You will soon overtake her if you hurry.
    If you hurry, you will soon overtake her.

    I know the Japanese word order is the way you put it, but in English both are OK, aren't they?
  12. orcrist
    6 hour(s) ago
    engFinally, I have time to reply to the mail that I have received these past 3 weeks.[CK]
    This feels unnatural. I would avoid using it.

    engI hope to go to Japan and beat the Japanese in ahjong.[Denizar]
    The word "mahjong" seems to be missing the "m."

    engI'm going to work by bicycle[Felipe]

    TO:
    I'm going to work by bicycle.

    engSince when you have been here?[FiRez]
    >Correction: "you have" => "have you"
    My previous comment assumes that this correction will be made.

    Note: In English, I'd more naturally say, "How long have you been here?"
    (http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/61716), "When did you get here?" (http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/954601), or "When did you arrive?" (http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/66331)

    2 day(s) ago
    engAre you headed towards me?[AlanF_US]
    "Are you headed towards me?" = "Are you moving towards me?"

    The idea is that your head (more precisely your face) is oriented in the direction that you're moving. However, "Are you facing me?" could mean that you're looking towards the other person but standing still, while "Are you headed towards me?" suggests that you're moving.
