Thanks for the examples, I really loved seeing the difference!Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485997747361791052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-19128731162193548572013-03-05T05:43:14.644-08:002013-03-05T05:43:14.644-08:00it's amazing how much grammar i have forgotten...it's amazing how much grammar i have forgotten. luckily i have a few english teachers in my critique group who won't hesitate to remind me. i love becks. i'm sure she did an excellent job with that red pen of hers. good luck with your book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-23168385754619132132013-03-05T03:07:14.019-08:002013-03-05T03:07:14.019-08:00Hahahah I guess that's what I was subconscious...Hahahah I guess that's what I was subconsciously thinking, but this is 100 years in the future. <br /><br />Good luck with the editing!

And except for that pesky lie vs. lay vs. laid thing (which usually I just get around having to know by rewording the sentence entirely), I was pretty darn confident in my knowledge of grammar and the sparklingness of my ms.<br /><br />Yeah. I was hilarious, too. <br /><br />I totally second the need for copy editors! They're a godsend, and worth their weight in gold.Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-77472754168891678342013-03-04T13:04:54.780-08:002013-03-04T13:04:54.780-08:00Love it!
