notes from an editor

"Hard working" is different from "hardworking".

"Maybe" isn't the same thing as "may be".

"However, ..." isn't the same as "however ..."

"Every day" is different from "everyday".



Just because it passes spellcheck, doesn't mean you're using the right one.

And 'loose'. It is not the same as 'lose'. Particularly when it comes to virginity...

All these writers playing fast and loose with language is making me lose my temper.

Just breath deeply, and it'll all be ok.

(I'm sorry for both of those.)
