Legal documents make my brain hurt

For the past two years Lincoln has been working for a small business that we own. It's a telecommunications business that has been doing fairly well despite the crappy economy and right now we're getting ready to take that business to the next level. Unfortunately that means a lot of legal and financial documents - two things that I absolutely hate. Our life is becoming a constant whirl of financial advisers, accountants, legal advisers, and insurance people.

Years ago there was a website, which probably still exists, where you could type something in English and have it translated into pretty much any language you wanted. There was a bit of an uproar at the time because students were using it to do their Spanish or French homework. You could also type something in a foreign language and have it translated into English for you. Well I've decided this world really needs a website where you could type in a legal clause and have it translated into plain everyday English.

For example: "all subject to the overall control and supervision of the Manager; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that any matter requires agreement."

I just have to keep telling myself that dealing with all these legal and financial documents is a good thing and it means the business is doing well.

It still makes my brain hurt though.
