There are those people–the ones obsessed with homonyms (there, their and they’re). The people that spend more time correcting their papers than they do writing them. The ones that actually enjoy learning AP style and find English rules exceptionally stimulating.
I am one of those people.
My doctor once said that my overly organized personality could be considered an OCD, but he warned me, “It’s nothing to be concerned about, doctors and lawyers all have OCDs of some sort and that’s why they are good at their jobs”.
Quite frankly, I would say my obsession with English rules has the potential to make me just that in the future–one hell of an editor.
