Introducing green editing
By Kris | August 16th, 2006 No Comments »As a professional communciator, I have had many papers edited, reviewed, proofread and otherwise demolished. And I firmly believe that any good writer is only so because he or she has a good editor. I think the era of good–and I mean good writers is over now that we have word processors and text messaging, it seems like we don’t need to worry about basic grammar, but that’s a different post for a different day.
The bottome line is this: I have developed an aversion to the color red, granted that may be because my Alma Mater’s biggest rival wears red, but nonetheless, I think it is time for a change. Today we have green marketing and the auto industry’s green vehicle campaign, I would like to introduce green editing. Unlike its namesakes, green editing is not representative of anything environmental, no, it is nothing more than editing with a color other than red–namely green.
I recently purchased a box of 12 Bic Round Stic Ultra Grip pens for $1.99 at Officemax–a pretty good investment when you consider counseling can cost in the hundreds.
