Editing in general is one of those things that I hope and wish and pray and hope that I don't have to do...I mean, everyone else is able to get it right the first time!
Nope, just our perception of the world. Everyone is editing. Especially the stuff we really care about.
I don't believe in using algorithms to rate people online, but if I were forced to do so, I would judge them by the number of comments they deleted and/or edited. Oddly enough, this post was a bit of a drive-by for me. It's not a good habit to get into.
Edit.
I used to have a mandatory three-edit rule. I am changing that to five -- at least for essays.
The world needs more editing, my friend. Everybody's got an opinion, nobody seems to be able to organize their thoughts.
