Oh, don't worry: only recently I worked on largish budget proposal, big lump of cash even by Western standards, and I kept writing "Dr Who" as a name of a translation software (which in fact is called Dr Eye :) Luckily I caught it in time, that is a day or so before sending the proposal. Anyway I blame f-list: I haven't seen even single episode of the show.
Re:China etc. I can quite understand the feelings of the previously colonised people etc. even if I don't agree with the contents of their publications. Truly worrying is one hand the extent those feelings are manipulated, which is waht you wrote about above; on the other hand, the extent those feelings are accepted (with their intellectual content) by large group in the West. Self-criticism is the single, qualitative difference which makes Western civilization better than the other ones (IMNSHO, of course). But I'm talking self-hatred here.
Re: article I will help, if I can, I may not be able to do it very fast, though. But I will need the exact title etc. of the article (or the text if you have it). You're too kind, BTW, in calling her my "collegue" with her being a professor and me a lowly assistant :)
