How would a copyeditor know which "grammar" to use?
In the English language, there are so many different ways to use grammar, but there aren't any set rules on which ways are correct; it's more just a matter of belief (example: the Oxford comma). I realize that a particular university will teach their own beliefs about grammar, but I'm concerned about the workplace: what if a workplace wants to use grammar in a way my university didn't teach me? Or didn't want me to use? Thanks! #copyedit #copyeditor #grammar #write #english
