If I admit I am a tech writer will you promise to not judge my fast typing I usually do without rereading?

Many tech writers do not alter the content as much as check spelling (Manual) and grammar, and double check for inconsistencies - depends how deep you want us to go.

So didn't someone say there were inconsistencies in the coolant paper? Tech writers catch that and point out to author - "Did you mean to say ...?"

Also, we help make the flow logical. Many times I read paragraphs and at the end it says "In addition, ......" and that should be brought up with the content it applied to. It is like an after thought before moving on. Or there are large hard to read paragraphs that are easier to understand put into bullets or numbered lists, etc.
