This begs the obvious question: “So what’s Frediting, huh?”
Frediting is doing all the above very, very well. For example, a good Freditor would smack you upside the head for misusing “begs the question” like that.
As Fred’s proofreader du jour, I can attest both to the quality of his prose and the dank awfulness of his puns.
"stilted speech, unnatural utterances, redundant repetition, awkward alliteration, and their ilk "
I see what you did there.
Not only do I approve, I'm very proud.
