Comrades,
 
If you can handle this without mentioning the forbidden p.p. words, please consider one or both of these two quotes. Perhaps someone who believes that correction is appropriate for learners (e.g., me) would deal with the quotes as if you were the copy editor preparing the two items for publication.
 
If you like, put words to be (deleted) in parentheses and underline words to be added.

I heard much the same from from a twentysomething PR assistant to Alain Senderens while interviewing the legendary chef in 2006. When I had asked Senderens if he was concerned about the dining habits of French youths, he had waved his hands dismissively and assured me there was nothing to worry about; the kids would come around -- they always did.
