Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) | 2568 comments I couldn't agree more on getting a good editing/proofreading team. I've read several new authors lately who use one word when they mean another (indignity and indignation are NOT interchangeable!) and one in particular who seems to think that you can turn any noun into a verb just by conjugating it. Which gets extremely annoying about 20 pages in. Not to mention stupid, inexcusable transpositions like you're for your, it's for its, and singular verbs with plural subjects. Basic second-grade stuff!
