| Hello!
|
| If you are an editor or have had the fortune (mis- or good)
| to work with
| one, what have you determined to be the qualities of a good editor? A
| poor one? Also, are there any editing related "quirks" that
| you may have
| noticed?
A good editor _consistently_ enforces the agreed upon style manual and proper usage. This is crucial when you have multiple authors contributing to a document and a single voice is desired.
