What the hell does she think editing is? I guess she doesn't care about typos, style errors and making sure her facts are right because those details are tough to catch, too. One thing I always tell people is that my skill set to edit words also translates into debugging code. English is a language. Code is a language. There is no debugger for English, so you had better have an excellent grasp of its rules and syntax to make your writing 'work.'Entire projects hinged on small, context-free details that were impossible for me to catch.
