Re: 2+2 and Editing: Oh, the Irony
[ QUOTE ]
Not to keep beating on you Nate, but the irony is in this post itself.
You had 3 typos in just a few paragraphs, paragraphs that you had all the time in the world to proof-read. Writing a book and trying to deliver it by deadline is a slightly different animal.
I'm in no way defending the obvious mistakes in the 2+2 books, but they happen. I don't know if the cost of a pricey editor would increase the cost of the book, but as stated above, I'm o.k. with them right now.
Plus, unlike other books, there's a forum to note the mistakes so that people can correct them...if readers take the time to come here that is.

Come on. That's a little silly. I'm multitabling. If I held my posts to the same standards I hold my paid work, I'd get very little posted.
Anyhow, my intent in posting was not primarily to look for work. (That would violate the T&C, right?) It was to point something out, poke a little fun, and hopefully draw comments from anyone with an observation or some relevant experience or whatever.
I'm OK with 2+2 not being the New York Times. But in the first three pages of WTHG I had to stop and reread several times because the English is so bad. This deserves comment and maybe even some mockery.
