[xmca] Re: Mind, Culture, and Activity: An International Journal - Decision on Manuscript ID MCA-09-53

["Monica E. Nilsson" <monica.e.nilsson@bth.se>]

Mike -- attached is the one I had to ccorrect and accept. I made 4  
corrections which otherwise would have effected the meaning. However I  
did not want to mess with the rest of the text because of the the  
english corrections Tamara already made. The attached file can be  
compared to the one I mailed you yesterday (the final). I conclude,  
for example, that footnotes are gone, a paragraph in the conclusion is  
deleted, references have been removed, words have been replaced  
(changes of english which I can't judge the correctness of).

But, if an editor has worked with it I'll accept the changes though I  
have to admit that I started to wonder whether the editor is a native  
English speaker or not...? Nothing more I can do, I just hope  
everything is ok.
