Copy editors have their use

Norman Geras has a go at copy editors.

Hmmm. All I've got to say on the subject is this:

I co-wrote a book a while ago on the British class system. When we received our marks from the copy editor, almost every reference we had made to private schools had been corrected. Quite rightly: for, I'm sure, deeply Freudian reasons, we had referred almost throughout to pubic schools.
