I’ll say right off that I’ve always had a soft spot for good English in journalism. Good writing that only needs a little tweaking delights me, whether already published or still in manuscript form that I’m asked to edit. Conversely, however, my line of work has developed in me a strong aversion toward shoddy language, plain untruthfulness or cluelessness, outrageous grammar, and flagrant verbosity in journalism.
