RE: What to look for in a technical editor

Well, with regards to the assumed literacy of Joe Average American, even 
the grossest exaggeration seems plausible. Back in the 80's, I remember 
stories about the inability of high school seniors to find their own state 
on a map, let alone finding the nation's capitol. One can safely assume 
it's just gotten worse since then. 

But that's a rant best saved for a future blog post  ;-)

You think so? About 3 months ago, watched it with my girlfriend, her 17 yo
daughter and her boyfriend. Let's just say that it ain't exaggerated by
much.
