    I don't hate the "would" construction, unlike most, but if you're going to do it you have to be consistent. Don't give me "would work under ... and then followed" in the same sentence.

    It's an individual blog at SB Nation. The editing isn't very good (if it even exists at all). The writing is.

    The writing is what I'm seeing, right? If it's not edited?

    Yes, but you're pointing out something a good editor (such as yourself) would fix. We're looking at more or less raw copy here. Holding raw copy to the same standards as well-edited and vetted magazine stories is unfair.

    I don't think it's unfair when we're talking about the writing. And your suckup line won't work. :D
