Typically Medium Edit Grouping

Overview

In assessing the level of proofreading or editing required for the various documents and manuscripts deposited with us, WordsRU has a framework of three edit groupings. When you submit a document the administrator uses these groupings as a guide to determine what is required to achieve a quality editing outcome for you. Each document or manuscript is opened and considered individually. The edit groupings range from light through medium to heavy with several gradations between. WordsRU administrators take a flexible approach to fine tune the pricing of your proofreading or editing so that you never pay for more work than your document or manuscript requires.

For more information on document submission please see How WordsRU Works.

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing. "
— Benjamin Franklin

Medium edit indicators:

There are significant problems with grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Word selection is often imprecise or inappropriate and there may be some ambiguity if your ideas are not presented clearly. Repetitiousness and wordiness need to be eliminated. Sentence construction is weak and diminishes the clarity, flow and impact of your writing. Formatting, citation style and other presentation issues may require attention.

Example of a generally medium edit

In keeping with these themes, Chomsky (1993) provides a systematic and concerted attack on conventionally held assumptions concerning the war. Chomsky’s book attempts to deconstruct the moral framework that scholars have erected to explain and condone American intervention and conduct in Southeast Asia. Under this conformity, any perception of US involvement as “fundamentally wrong or immoral” is considered deviant (p. 61).

It appeared as though the move away from the cultural mythology of the 1930s and 1940s had been prudent. According to Powers (1993),

By moving away from crime and punishment rituals, the bureau’s public image had to draw on the inherited capital of its pre-war popularity without replenishing it. By casting itself as a symbol of unity and national values, the bureau made itself vulnerable in unexpected ways when significant numbers of Americans began to attack national unity as a mask for oppression, or when the bureau itself failed to live up to the moral values it claimed to represent (P.98).

The image projected by Hoover’s FBI could not withstand the dictates of reality.
