Anal editors redux -

God save me from anal editors - like the woman in Burma who had a list of what to capitalize (written out for her by Saya Zawgyi) and argued with me that World War II should not be in caps.

Finally, I got a book in English and showed it to her --

"But wars are not on this list."

Me -- "Then Saya Zawgyi must have forgotten when he wrote the list."

I truly think editors edit because they can't live solely from their earnings from writing.
