Is it Good to Complain When there's Really Nothing that can be Done?
#14
RE: Is it Good to Complain When there's Really Nothing that can be Done?
What I paid for was proofreading, which I think is more precise than general editing. But anyway, after a lot of ass covering, the contact person finally agreed to find another proofreader and give me a partial refund.

Dante was wrong. The hottest places in hell are reserved for proofreaders who spell ellipsis with an e instead of an i.

At this point, I usually try to see what lesson I can learn from a situation. But I can't think of one. I didn't find these people on Google. They were specifically endorsed in a book about marketing books. So I can't tell myself to be more careful. What happened was the person who would regularly do the proofreading had a family emergency, and I suspect that her office outsourced the job.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
