Seen both sides of that issue, as an author I've been irked with an editor for changing the meaning of what I wrote, e.g., such things as having used term '<u>plane</u> wave' in describing transport of sound thru the air and then having it appear in the journal as '<u>plain </u>wave.' From the other side another e.g., a submitted article was forwarded to me for review and comment (I had been covering the topic regularly), and Iadvised editor that was reasonably accurate, but might be an affront to the readers as it seemed to 'talk down' to them; they didn't need 3+ pages to understand a fairly simple concept that could be easily covered in 2 paragraphs, 3 at the most. Editor agreed, returned it to author for 'Reader's Digest' rework, and the next time it appeared was in print of a competing journal.
You know what I 'm sayin'.......TMIalready.
