Whenever I work with an editor it eerily goes the same as when I assemble IKEA furniture.

"Done! Phew. That was a lot. What do you think?"
"You put those legs on backwards."
"God. Dammit."

I still get "that's not how you spell satellite". WELL MAYBE EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG yeah sorry I'll fix it.

I'm reminded of a time I was in Turkey (mostly working, but also some touring) and a carpet seller told me, "No. You must not accept this price. We will sit. We will have çay. We will chat and I will show you many carpets. Then I will again show you the one you like and we will haggle."

It's the teeth. Those are the teeth of something that heard humans have teeth but skipped the details about "why" and "how many?" before assuming this form. Seconds after this she unhinges her jaw and lunges for the camera, and then the Supernatural opening credits play.

I think technically she's a kind of Muppet so maybe ask the folks at Sesame Street.
