    There’s supposed to be copy editors for that sort of thing. It’s their job to have a copy of Hacker and a red pen at their desk.

    I worked for a small, local newspaper in high school, and the copy editors would endlessly complain about one of the most prolific contributors. Her articles were nearly unreadable before the copy editors did their work.

      I have to copy-edit my own work, and I, too, complain about the illegibility of copy before I fiercely edit it.
