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.

Dance like no one is watching;
Love like you've never been hurt;
Work like you don't need money;
Pray like there is no tomorrow.
