You are correct, the reviewer is wrong. I also got a few "corrections" that
were obviously wrong for some of my translations, but supposedly these
things will smooth themselves out with time. It would be nice to be able
to add some comments to the reviewers comments so that they don't
get the last word though. :)
Reviewers need to learn just as much as translators do! This is a feature that will be added eventually. Thanks for the help. I will correct my review.
