Downside #6

House style

Well, what more can I say? If I'd wanted to spend the best part of my working life agonising over the minutiae of what should be bold, italic, boxed, unboxed, US-spelled, underlined, overlined, by-lined, skylined, outlined, line broken, list formatted, subheaded or properly researched, I would have stuck with typesetting Dogon phrasebooks. In fact, come to think of it, even when I was doing that I was paying more attention to racing results and the office girl's backside. I became a travel writer to explore brave new worlds, not cross my own t's; editing is for editors - the clue's in the name, see? Pish tosh to the lot of itt.
