Not to be too nitpicky since it looks like the author is a developer and not a writer, but referring to the person building the spreadsheet as the "admin lady" throughout the piece sounds a bit awkward. Maybe just give her a made-up first name?


Looks like the author is from Taiwan, where the vernacular 'lady' is a common suffix for admins. Although it's good feedback for someone marketing to a non-Asian culture.


I am from Taiwan but have trouble reverse-translating this back to Chinese. What is the vernacular title you are referring?


That's oddly specific. It's just English, doesn't read out of place to me at all (British).
