I dunno, that's very nitpicky. In the end, if you're someone who earns their money directly without employing anyone, it's your hard work that paid for the professionals' work anyway.

And yet, you still didn't lift a hammer or a paint brush, or any tool. The pen and chequebook are not the same, and if you say you did something: you better have actually done more than sign for it in my book. Taking ownership of others' creations is fine, we aren't communists, but to deny workers respect shows your snobbery. Be in solidarity with your fellow workers, pay them their worth, champion their abilities, and tell others that you got someone else to do it.

Do not be embarassed by not having the time or expertise to do it, we can't all know how to do everything. Do not be embarassed by having enough money to pay for someone else to do it, it's why you have a job also, it's called the economy. Do not take credit for others' work.

I still believe you're reading too much into that grammar
