I just had that exact same experience!!! I found missing periods, misplaced quotation marks, and even two instances of having the wrong name assigned to a character (as in this person is DEAD, how can they be standing there talking?!). I couldn't believe it, especially since this author is a NYT bestseller with the best editors in the genre.sierramcconnell wrote:...you are reading a book that you've been waiting for (it's a series) and think, "Dear Lord, this was hardly edited at all, just look at that sentence structure!"
And immediately start to go for the red pen.
I can't help it. I'll send the other managers their memos back, with corrections. When our consultant emails us I do it too. I manage to refrain myself from doing it to the Operations Consultant but only just. I mean, his are really bad. It seems like the further up the chain it goes, the worse their grammar becomes.Mira wrote:Oh Heather - I was just joking! Well, I do edit my bosses memos, but only when he asks.
