Alright, so I'm easily amused. Are Wordfire Press the only ones who need to employ an editor for their titles?
Your example made me think of the endless listicles online of "untranslatable words", most of which proclaim with breathless excitement how the words chosen defy translation, then proceed to translate them. It's not unlikely that books exist with titles like "You can't say "X" in English"
