I have just finished reviewing the copy edits on a forthcoming project and am moved to send a shout-out to the awesome copy editors of the world. It can be painful at moments to see the flaws in what you wrote laid bare, but the process inevitably makes the work better.
That having been said: I tried mightily to submit to house style, but I will never be a Chicago convert. One guess which style they’ll have to pry out of my cold, dead hands…
@kfitz I seem to always get stuck with Chicago style (or some slight variant thereupon — every house style has its own quirks), which I would never choose if I had my druthers.
@ayjay Nor would I. I balked at Chicago’s insistence on including “(blog)” after the titles of certain online publications. It’s invidious, and inaccurate, and… no.
