Re: Red pens? (was: what to do)

[Dick Margulis <margulis -at- fiam -dot- net>]

Of course Geoff is correct that editing in Word makes much more sense 
than editing with a pen; I was just reacting to Al's suggestion in case 
Wade took him literally.

University of Chicago Press always used green pens, both for author's 
queries and for redaction. This was back in the days of marked up 
typescript; I have no idea what they use now. It's just an anecdotal 
data point, for what it's worth (twice what you paid for it, no doubt).

As for non-repro blue being hard to photocopy, that's not something I've 
tested lately. It seems to me it has not been a problem for at least a 
couple of decades, but I could be misremembering that factoid.

Hart, Geoff wrote some stuff that I snipped ...
