My mother[0] was a scientific editor, and she was brutal. She was a stickler for proper English, as well as content accuracy.

She once edited a book I wrote. It was humbling as hell, but it may be the only "perfect" thing that I've ever done (but it did not age well, and has since gone the way of the Dodo).
