With regard to Petra\\\'s entry under Woolseyism: I\\\'m not sure it counts as \\\"coming up with an alternative translation that works better in the target language\\\", \\\'cos the entry\\\'s wording could be taken to imply that JP Petra \\\'\\\'only\\\'\\\' reflects her 2nd-language struggles through long pauses. From my experience, JP Petra minces sentences as well (e.g. in her self-introduction she says \\\'\\\'\\\"Petra... iimasu\\\"\\\'\\\', when the stock phrase would be \\\'\\\'\\\"Petra to moushimasu\\\"\\\'\\\'; another example, the original version of \\\'\\\'\\\"I have gratitude\\\"\\\'\\\' is the similarly clunky \\\'\\\'\\\"kansha... desu\\\"\\\'\\\'.
Does it still count as Woolseyism if the original version did the thing too? The example here seems a bit like the author might just not have perceived the similarity.
