Thoughts upon editing a document, v.1.0

[eurydicebound]

1. God help me, if you don't learn to use tabs at the beginning of paragraphs, I will hunt you down and kill you. I cannot search and replace that. I have to do it manually for 15 freakin' pages. I'm already pissed because you shorted the damned word count and I have to fill it in. Don't make me even more homicidally insane by ignoring stuff that you could open one of the books and verify as the style for this game since time immemorial.

Yeeeaaah...but in some cases (say, White Wolf), writers aren't supposed to indent, so it might be a case of the writer not reading the style guide rather than not noting the style in the books.

Either way, death. :)

Yeeeeess, but if I am lucky enough to get a job that's going to pay me money for workable text, I at least check the damned style guide. *growl*
