I am editing a dissertation for a graduate student who is going for her doctorates in education. Now...I was happily editing until I came across this:
"For children who you are learning English, self-directed play establishes an informal, non-threatening atmosphere..."
Now I would understand if it was just one sentence like that. But it's not. There are many other sentences that are either messed up like this or don't have the right punctuations.
She has had THREE professors edit this dissertation thus far, and came to me to do it again. How do three people, four actually, miss a sentence like this?
Well, enough of my ranting. Back to editing this...paper... confused
