I edit manuscripts for a scholarly press.~~I used to blog under the pseudonym Ed Absurdum. I now use my real name because I dislike anonymity. And I like the sound of "nonanonymous.~~I don't write about dangling modifiers or other boring trivia, and I don't do "haha, I found a typo." I'm not with the grammar police.~~If I criticize an author, that doesn't mean I disagree with them or find everything they write unacceptable.~~Opinions expressed here aren't necessarily those of my employer.
