Has anyone had an editor disappear with your story

[Bramblethorn]

I remember a few clients who insisted that I get their editing done as soon as possible, because deadlines, projects, important things! And then two months after I deliver the text they email me saying "I'm just going through your edits, and I was wondering..."

Ah, but did they pay on time? I can forgive a lot for that.

Can volunteer editors charge for services rendered?

Can volunteer editors charge for services rendered?

That would be "professional" editing.

You're not wrong but I feel like you're only strengthening my case the English is real dumb sometimes.

LOL Noooooo. English is a wonderful language - incredibly fluid and adaptable and you can just make up new words and add them in and people will understand them LOL. And English will just adopt new words from another language at the drop of a hat and assimilate them in the blink of an aye. Hahahahaha

Try Chinese!!!!! Grrrrrhhhhhh. You can't just invent a new character easily! I have been struggling with Chinese for years and I am still as incapable of speaking it as I was 25 years ago!!!!! And that's with a mom who speaks Cantonese as her first language. LOL
