>The process of being a technical editor involves more than proper use of grammar. Being a technical editor can be a challenging task. Tracy and I have some experience in editing a technical document written by someone not born in an English speaking country. One problem I ran into was attempting to understand how to properly explain what had been accomplished. Use of an improper term, word or concept would give a different meaning to what was being discussed.

>Your comment about deadlines is well taken. All that being said, it would be nice if someone could “go over” each issue, to catch "major grammar issues". Being a critic is not always an enviable position. At the same time you concern yourself with having the best looking professional document. There are always tradeoffs in life. :)

You understand the situation perfectly.
