| Ouch! A journal changed two words in one of my articles -- after the supposedly last page proofs -- one was a quote from Stephen Carter where the meaning was altered a bit by changingn "sentience" to "sentence" and where an idea I thought would give "pause" to some, was changed to give "rise" to them. Sigh. I would be inclined to say journal editing ain't what it used to be -- but I have no empirical basis for comparison -- I suspect such errors have crept in since the beginning of printing with removable type -- and certainly existed previously with hand copying.
