Love it. As writers and editors, we often win very small battles. During a recent editing stint with a major Canadian bank, I considered it a good day if I could eliminate the passive voice in 50 per cent of the copy that came my way. That, and eliminating the phrase, "back in" (as in "back in 2005")made it an even better day. Brilliant term, Sue. Love it. As writers and editors, we often win very small battles.
