Hi Charles, I hate to say it, but I agree. Anyone thinking of working as one of the Audyssey editers better be able to type, spell, and have a good use of grammar. Also it would help if the person doing the editing has a fairly decent understanding of punctuation rules. I don’t know how many people forget commas, periods, let alone colons, semi-colons, and other less used punctuation marks. I’m not expecting perfection, but merely someone who has a good idea of how to publish ae-magazine with decent standards.
