We've found that since electronic copyediting and such, there are many more mistakes than when we worked entirely on paper. And I know I find more mistakes in the paper passes.

Yeah, if I'm editing for punctuation, etc., I much prefer having a
printout to work from. I like making the changes on the computer
screen, because it's fast, but there's something tactile missing
without having a printout. Which makes me feel bad -- I hate to print
things out only to recycle them a day later.

Jen: at least you recycle them. Most people would just toss 'em.

But I utterly agree about the tactile thing.
