Editor Itself

I've been working here long enough to see some of my mistakes route back to me. Today, two appeared on one document.
Though I wasn't guilty of Amy Einsohn's second commandment of copyediting, I had allowed two errors to pass to penultimate stages. I'm thankful for other's eyes.

Amy's four commandments are listed at the bottom of this page from her A Copyeditor's Handbook. Happy browsing, but don't forget to buy this excellent resource.
More on the origins of the first edition, and the editorial model I aspire to, here.
