He is the copy chief of Random House, author of Dreyer’s English, which is a New York Times Bestseller.

The editor works with the author for however many drafts to tackle the big picture issues. When they are satisfied with the manuscript, a copywriter will take over. According to Dreyer, copyediting is a nuclear level of attention to details that include things like making sure there are no errors, checking the author’s word usage, and applies the rules of grammar that suits the copy editor.

Bill Nye is not sure, but he says in order for it to be clear, you want it to be logical. The rules are developed in a logical way.

Benjamin's opinion is that this rule is major elementary bs because there are some words that apply, but many other words that don't apply to this rules. The handy rule may not be so handy to follow in most cases.

Rohan Raja pictures what he hears from just hearing the word. As the information processes, he tries to fit which language the word belongs to in order to determine if it fits the definition.

Rohan states that poetry breaks all the rules. His teacher made him read various poems, and he considered them to be nonsense since he didn't understand a single thing.
