Subject: Not just Journalists! How about Editors?
In reply to: DianeG 's message, "Re: Journalists!" on 12:03:33 07/15/05 Fri GMT-5

That was a horrific sentence, Roger. Depressing, ain't it? Something that's been getting my goat lately is "the reason why". I'm reading and hearing that everywhere. In fact, I just read a book called 78 Reasons Why Your Book Might Never Be Published (and 14 Reasons Why It Just Might) by a Pat Walsh, an American book editor. Now, it was an interesting book, though IMHO the guy is a bit of an a**hole and doesn't seem to like writers much (surprise). BUT BUDDY...how about 78 Reasons Your Book Might Never Be Published, etc.

I think the guy needs a good editor!

Thanks for listening,

Lori
