Item One
I will have to assume that my sarcasm, irony, and satire is falling short of the mark. My nephew did warn me that my humor does not translate. My wife said that only artists can do nuance and hyperbole well. I am not an artist.
alter vs altar
culpable deniability vs plausible
And many other 'error' notifications that I have received in the last several weeks. If you see a blaring error, such as the two examples, it may be intentional. As for the numerous grammar/spelling/punctuation errors, those are (probably) not intentional.
Item Two
I receive about four or five offers per week to edit my shit. I asked in the very beginning and was told that my shit is shit; maybe it was that my crap is crap. Allow my prose to be ugly. Consider it part of the story.
An editor that can answer the question below and qualify the answer, gets the job of proofing my shit. And I have two more piles of shit in the queue. Otherwise, with all due respect to the editors that haven given much effort to help make some good SOL prose, please go away.
