Re: punctuation

You would think that, Dan. The four magazines I edit have guidelines, including to submit copy in Times or Times New Roman (serif face) and you'd be amazed!!! at how many writers send san serif copy.

You'd also be amazed at how many writers do not put their name, date, issue or other identifying information at the top of their articles. I'm convinced there are writers who never read the guidelines let alone follow them. From the editor's standpoint, this adds a lot of work.

This thread has been an education.
