"My husband likes to say that I’ve been editing him for thirty years, and his writing for two."
LOL You and my wife as well. She was reading my entry this morning and said, "I only noticed one thing." Reads a sentence. "That should be 'our' not 'are'.
Uh, oops! Maybe when the poll's over with I'll fix it. She didn't spy anything else, so hopefully you won't either. (grin)
Honestly, it feels like copy editing is a bit of a dying talent. I've started noticing more mistakes, even in published works. Maybe the publishing industry's margins are thinner, and they don't want to pay for copy editing, but sheesh, it really is distracting sometimes.
