         Striking examples of the need of an editor's art

         Date: Fri, 15 March 2002
         From: Kate Santon, ksanton@dircon.co.uk

The Bookseller (UK trade mag, as I'm sure all know), in defence
of the editor's continuing role, has started collecting 'the most
striking examples of a phrase in need of an editor's art'....

the first (anonymous) contribution is:

  'Rather like in an standing by the water's edge in an estuarine
  crocodile region, its not the one basking on the opposite bank
  to be wary of, it's the unseen crocodile surfacing 2 meters to
  your left that will get you'. (sic)

I'm sure I've had better (I work with business books), and I
cannot be alone, so how about coming up with some? Contribs to
Bent's notes (bent@bookseller.co.uk), and the suggestion is that
'a more literate alternative' should also be provided...
