We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

That would've been more satisfying but for Etoile stepping her game up to the next level, like the Michael Jordan of Masochistic Text Editing.

I mean really, watch her soar. I'm honored to share the same planet.

The thing is, there's a sticky in the Editors Forum where you can request free editing.

But then maybe Darwin was right. If you're not smart enough to find the free editing, do you deserve to receive any?

QFP! Thank you.

Seriously. I wouldn't have had the patience for it.

Then again, I seem to scare off edit-request people. Either that or none of them have a clue what I'm trying to say.

If a writer has no clue what an editor is saying, then maybe the world would be a better place if said writer hung up his or her ellipses.

QFT.

I tended to get -all- non-native English speakers. This is not normally a problem for me, or so I thought; as an online gamer, I'm of the opinion that many, many non-native English speakers have a better grasp of the English language and grammar than many of our own natives.

This did not seem to be the case here. :/ And I lost patience quickly; if I have to explain in tiny words what you need to change, you need to write in a different language and have someone of that persuasion edit it. No, I won't do it FOR you. Grr.

Many are culled and few are chosen, no?

I like this. I'm going to start thinking of my editing choices as culling the herd. :>
