Great Edits of All Time

February 20, 2008 By Al Martine

Over the years, I’ve edited a lot of documents.  Sadly, until about three years ago, I probably wasn’t qualified to give any feedback in regards to writing – but – well I did anyway.

Before today, my favorite edit was adding an ‘L’ to the word – public speaker just before one of my relatives sent this resume out searching for a job.

But today, I had the chance to make another great edit.  After reading over a presentation deck, I was able to add the second ‘S’ to the word assess.  As in to ‘assess X’.

Sometimes just one letter makes the difference.
