Course Title: Basic Sub-editing
You forgot the rules of grammar back in school, did you ever remember where an apostrophe should go and what is a subjunctive clause anyway - who cares?
You do! Sub-editors should know the rules of the English language inside and out. Knowing these "subbing" rules can make you a better reporter and sub-editor. Sloppy mistakes and poor editing reflect badly on you and the publication you work for. Learn the rules for better writing and improve the professionalism of your work.
