Editcetera

MORONS!
I can’t even believe these folks are putting themselves out there as language experts. They can’t even write decent Web content. Take a look at their site, with all its silly, amateurish word plays and alliterations and basic writing mistakes. I wrote better as a sixth grader, for goodness sake.

I have heard good things about the classes given by Editcetera. I had high hopes for my writing for the web class the night the bridge closed. My work sent almost 10 people to this thing — just about half the class. I had to leave the kiddo with dad to put to bed (his second time doing this without me). I couldn’t even come to work late because of a staff meeting (which was really good and just high-​lighted even further what was lacking with this class) which resulted in a 12 hour work day for me. I wish I could say that it was all worth it. It wasn’t.
It started with the presenter not having the right hook-​up for her laptop to show the presentation on the screen and no handouts either. She did have a few editing exercises for us to do in class. Interesting but not the depth I was looking for.
After hearing that the Bay Bridge had just closed, our San Francisco contingent huddled to figure out a plan to get home. The break ended with most of us scattering to the wind with about an hour of class left to go. The few who remained reported back that we didn’t miss much but a discussion on how to get a job in the field — not helpful! :(
I might try taking a class with them again. I hear the editors upstairs really like the one they are taking.
