Copy editors do more than find typos, #312
In my forthcoming book, "The Grammar Daily," I had written, "You're probably tired of hearing me say this, but it's a style choice."
The copy editor caught that this was the first time I had said something was a style choice. Nobody would be tired of hearing it at this point.
I say it all the time in my podcast and have said it in other books, but I had not said it yet in *this* book, which needs to stand alone.
