I am trying to better understand this sentence:

> 金さんは、微妙なニュアンスまで気にされてて、すごいですね。
>
> It's amazing how interested you are in these subtle nuances.

Is the following an accurate understanding of this contraction? Written in
what I perceive as basic, plain Japanese (without honorifics), perhaps the
sentence would read as thus:

> 金さんは、微妙なニュアンスまで気にしている。それは、すごいことだ。

Then the " いる。それは、" can be contracted to

> 金さんは、微妙なニュアンスまで気にしていて、すごい。

Then the する is put into 敬語 and further contracted.

> 金さんは、微妙なニュアンスまで気にされてて、すごいですね。

I know the order of this process is arbitrary, but is my understanding
correct? If anyone could explain what the していて、/-てて is doing specifically, I
would appreciate that as well.

verbs contractions て-form
How to understand the contractionしていて、/-てて
The meaning of ている can be found
[here](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/je2/4536/m0u/%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B/).
していて comes from する+ている.

And てる てて are short forms of ている ていて. These short forms should be avoided in
formal reading and writing, as they are less formal, and are still being
argued whether they should considered correct Japanese.
