I've had excellent CEs before. I've had mediocre/mostly harmless ones before. I've never had one that changed words to WRONG usages, had no idea about basic epic fantasy terminology (and failed to look it up), AND rewrote random sentences not because they were incorrect but (apparently) because the CE didn't like them - and then chirpily asked "ok?" No. NOT OKAY.
I should be done with this by now, not barely 1/4 of the way through. Your job is supposed to be to make things cleaner, not muck them up.
[and yes, my editor has been informed that I am Not Thrilled. But the damage has been done]
