Peg, my main aim with ...Thanks, LJ, Jenny, and Peg. Peg, my main aim with this post was to just make people aware that very often, words or terms with similar meaningss are spelled differently depending on the context or part of speech. Sometimes I put on my nerdy hat! Usually, I'm more concerned with the content, style and impact of a story, which are really so much more important than spelling. But spelling and punctuation make up the final polish that makes a novel, short story, article or any piece of writing look more professional, so the content and author are more credible.Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-37751413700263644432013-03-25T17:18:18.456-07:002013-03-25T17:18:18.456-07:00What a fun post.

(Well, with a Ph.D. and as a semi-former English teacher, who prefers things prim with proper prompters (though I don't mind if language is sometimes semi-formal, never having been to such a prom) (I'm getting lost in the parenthesis), what do you expect? A perfect break from Passover preparation. Lots of fun here.<br /><br />Misspelled words are the hangnails of writing.<br /><br />Glad to see the distinction between development, structural, content and copy editing stated. A lot of people thing all editing is copy-editing (if it's copy editing, is that the same as plagiarism?) with or without the hyphen. (Perhaps a rule of thumb might be the hyphen siphons.)<br /><br />Anyway, A really fun, challenging and enjoyable post, Jodie. Thanks!David Y.B.
