Listen, main point of this flyer was to inform Minnesota teams and I had no intention to send them out to other areas. I made this flyer at 1am the day of a regional in between studying for an exam. I'm sorry if small grammar mistakes are that much of an issue to you that you're trying to invalidate someone else's work because of it. If you really have an issue with it you can go and make your own, but I'm going to stand behind the work that I did.
If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well. That includes informing them well about the total "picture"

A way someone might invalidate their own work would be accomplishing the wrong thing (or rushing it late at night, or ...). That was my point #2 about the purpose of the flyer.

The grammar suggestion hopefully improves rather than invalidates, and comes from agreeing with Churchill when he said "Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all." "Transitioning" is neither short nor old.

Churchill was a very effective communicator (So is Trump ).
