7 "Degraded" has a negative ring to it, so can you find another term?
8 How about "lenient" or "relaxed"?

13 I am aware that it isn't your change, but while at it, could you change
14 "inofficial" to "unofficial"? "Inofficial" is a false friend for German
15 writers and (as I've been told by a native speaker) isn't really a word
16 in English.
