Attn to detail is fine but it rarely produces the same benefits a senior atty can get from focusing on the big items. |

Date: August 12th, 2019 8:48 AM Author: Racy Dull Knife One of the big draws for me early in my tenure on xo was reading comments by others for whom English is their second language. I have always enjoyed reading poasts especially that display high information density in so called broken or inelegant English. Conversely, those editors who nitpick and fuss over tiny matters of style or idiom in their comments, while not saying much of any great value annoy me because I'd rather my mind were impressed by the substance of an idea than its vehicle. As far as the co-worker unwilling to make substantive revisions to her teammate's draft, she may simply not possess the skills to do so, or she may be unwilling to stick her neck out for job security reasons. But as for seeing those ticky-tack mark-ups on his draft, this must annoy the op. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4321462&forum_id=2#38673907) |

Date: August 12th, 2019 8:59 AM Author: Racy Dull Knife I know. I'm very clunky and labored at times. It usually takes me three edits to achieve a lightness and freshness in my written voice. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4321462&forum_id=2#38673938) |

Date: August 12th, 2019 9:07 AM Author: pearly lascivious market goyim Yes "she" will not have the skill to do so. These types of edits are huge red flags that this person is in way over her head. She knows she has to contribute something but is incapable of contributing anything that matters. She also likely spent 3 more hours than necessary on her mark up (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4321462&forum_id=2#38673958) |
