lagilman: coffee or die (bitch)
[personal profile] lagilman
Dear Copyeditor: Yes, I wanted "sat his horse" not "sat on his horse." Yes, that is the correct usage. Look it up. I'll wait....

(Google informs me that hacks like Jack London and Cormac McCarthy and Chaucer used the phrase. Also, Hemingway. And, as a point of modern reference, every riding instructor I ever had.)


I am getting v. tired of this copyeditor 'fixing' things that aren't broken. Give me back my last CE, please. S/he rocked.
