I understand your situation. After the first time this same thing happened
to me at ANOTHER COMPANY, I added comments as to why I made the changes and
referenced book and page where I got the info (especially grammar
corrections). Once I even made a copy of the grammer book page & attached
it. It must have made an impression because after doing that a few times,
the higher up let me do my job.
Hope that helps.
