RE: using a slogan on a resume

["Peter Swisher" <PeteS -at- bmgi -dot- com>]

Obviously, you shouldn't modify a quote unless their quote is completely
unintelligible.  Professional athletes should definitely not be exempt.


I used to work at a larger company that had all kinds of publication
support: 2 copyeditors, schedulers, layout artists, templates, style
guides and so forth.  It was a great experience, but I spent a lot of
time arguing with the copyeditors.  The line you draw really depends on
the audience and how you can most efficiently help them complete their
task.  

My current company has no copyeditors and their published documentation
shows it.  I have found 3 out of 6 brochures that had blatant errors:
the types you commonly find in instant messages or e-mails.  When I find
grammatical errors, something is obviously wrong!  I am hoping to
convince them to outsource a copyediting service.

So where was the breakdown?  It's Mark's resume, and all he can do is
accurately quote what Haim Chertok wrote.  It was Haim, or his Ariel
Quarterly editor, who decided not to split ("to not split"?) the
infinitive.

IMO, that is what a professional copyeditor is for!  Hope that opinion
doesn't get me kicked off the board!
