Editing is such fun.

Let's start with Capital Letters used for the Start of every Sentence and of course for every Proper Name, and let's include the Pseudo-Shakespearian/Medieval habit of giving Every Important Thing a Capital Letter; and then let's not forget dear old colons for ones'* list: comma overuse, abuse, and underuse, in a very long sentence that could do with breaking up only when you do break it up it makes no sense anyway; and thank heavens for semi-colons; without them, my ellipses would get so lonely...

The good thing is that dealing with these tiny matters help me to ignore greater arse-biscuiterie, such as story, continuity, and dialogue.

I have been staring at this thing so long I'm virtually cross-eyed. Englang, my Englang, don't you wuv me any more?

*Dare I even mention apostrophe catastrophe?
