[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1398490, member: 7464"] (from dictionary.com) [b]straight·jack·et[/b] [i]n.[/i] [i]& v.[/i] Variant of [url="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=straitjacket"][color=#0033ff]straitjacket[/color][/url]. It's probably still incorrect, but has been (mis)used so often that it is now considered a variant spelling. I hear southern iron is not as good as northern iron. -2 hardness for all doors made of southern iron. Re: room 26 changes: The only changes I made were minor. I clarifyed the paragraph for the required listen checks, and tweaked a couple sentences in the description. The vast majority of the text is as it was when I recieved it. By the way, I know from experience that having things that you've written get edited requires a thick skin. Things that make perfect sense to the writer sometimes get changed (or even outright deleted) in editing, because the editor deemed it to be "unclear" (or "unnecessary"). Everybody involved is doing their best to increase the quality of the product, and people early in the production process are just going to have to accept the (sometimes questionable) judgement calls of the people later in the process. I showed off the finished product to a fellow editor here in my office, and she opened it to the first page (the intro, the letters) and within 2 seconds said "I found an error." Nothing is error-free, but it's significantly better than it was without any editing at all. [/QUOTE]
