The Editor's Blog

You are an editor. Your friends and colleagues say you are nit-picky and anal, but you know the truth: You just like being right. The Editor's Blog is designed to be both a resource for you (whether "editor" is your job title or obsession) and a sounding board for you to share the many annoying and egregious errors you come across to others who will appreciate them (because your husband or sister or roommate is tired of listening to you). I hope you will share editing experiences and opinions on certain subjective edits like the serial comma and UK vs. U.S. English, as well as grammar bloopers, pet peeves, and other questions and/or reference materials you have. If anything, I hope this blog spares you the embarrassment of asking a friend or colleague a question that they think (and you know) you should know the answer to. After all, you like being right.
