Quote

The whole integrity of editing rests on the editor's ability, when challenged, to give a reasonable and persuasive explanation for every change in the text—and that disagreements over judgments can be worked out collegially, in discussion.

More dubious guidance

Tuesday, 17 May 2011   08:29 AM

Not along ago I got an HTC HD7 phone, for which I wanted a resilient case of some sort. I ended up with a PowerSkin case that is protective and that also includes a battery. Clever idea.

PowerSkin packaging that includes the note '(phone not included)'
