Recently I talked to an author of technical book and the editor practically destroyed his book. The book wasn't in English. That moron (editor) was even translating acronyms like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) into original language, as if the SOAP was the thing you use to wash your hands.
And the author was helpless, because the editor was hired by publisher and had priority.
After the edit, the book was beautifully grammatically correct, but compete nonsense from programmers point of view.
