Sash! posted:I'm an editor (among other things) by trade. Oh. Oh god. I'm so sorry. Speaking as an engineer who was the only person in our entire department to have something even so basic as Strunk and White in his bookshelf (let alone anything more comprehensive or recent), I'm so, so very sorry. After years of trying to grade undergraduate engineers' attempts at writing everything from paragraph-length short answers to five page reports, the idea of doing it as a career kind of makes me want to start projectile vomiting. Instead I just get to do the majority of proposal writing for my company now that my boss has learned that I can tell my rear end from a passive voice verb.  Anyone who has to edit engineer writing for a living deserves a free drink at the bar every Friday, to commemorate the end of another week of that.
