2+2 and Editing: Oh, the Irony

[fraac]

Agree with everyone critical of 2+2 writing standard. Even with Ed Miller or Alan Schoonmaker, who can at least write readable sentences, the larger structure is poor.

2+2 will suffer in a more competitive market because of THIS issue. Mason's pride will suffer to admit this. Which will break first? I saw that thread where he defended an incorrect mathematical position for much longer than reasonable, right until he heard people say 'standards of 2+2 are evidently poor, won't buy books'.

I find it interesting, anyway. The forum will surely persist, and that matters more.
