I am editing a pretty lengthy publication that is very text heavy. I'm updating it from last year's version. Some new entries need to be added. So, my editors provided me with text that is printed out and taped to my proof. This wouldn't be the slightest bit odd twenty-five years ago, when typewriters and photocopiers reigned over type-written matter.
Even though the person sat and typed it up, printed it out, taped it and handed it back to me, it is now my turn to type it again. I'm not the best typist. I got a B in that class.
Why they didn't provide me with the electronic file, I don't know. But this I know, the clunky spirit of typewriters live on at my office. Hurrah!
