    "Hammyhamham is delicious" would be better English phrasing.
    "As for hammyhamham, it's delicious" or something similar would also work too, but "hammyhamham; it's delicious" may be grammatically acceptable, but it is not contextually acceptable.

    This seems more like a translation example than an editor example

    Nope; it's an editor example.
    Translations often need a rewording, and that's the editor's job (as well as the translator's job)

    Would you accept someone who translate very very slow?

    I could only translate like one chapter a month -.-

    My domain is expiring soon so I want somewhere to house my work...

    The only novel I can bring over is Cheat Na Kaineko. Every other novel has been picked up by someone else.

    As much as people tell me putting commas inside quotes is "correct", I still prefer the British convention. It makes more sense to me to not include in the quote what doesn't belong to the quote.

    Here's a picture of me (on the left) whenever I see American-style quotes:

    You can imagine my face whenever I'm reading Wikipedia :blobsmile:

    But having the comma after the quote looks as ugly as f*ck...

    Heh, America won war 1 and it was a draw in war 2 against the British. America also won both wars against Spain/Mexico. This can clearly be attributed to the quote being after the comma, greatly improving morale. :blobokhand:
