Copy editors are scary
jm December 5th, 2006
We were blessed with an excellent copy-editor, and we have no idea how she kept her sanity. That said, there were a few things that we should have vetoed her on, but we didn’t. Mostly because we didn’t know any better due to it being our first book. Also, editing this book was a Sisyphean task and we had to pick our battles. Anyway, here’s a quick list of stuff we know is a little off:
"twos complement" - This should be "two’s complement."
"UNIX" - We wrote those chapters referring to it as "Unix." We should have stuck to that.
"Web" - It should be capitalized based on context.
