When I mark a correction (look up AP Style titles, for instance), when you do that -- DELETE MY COMMENT from your paper.

Two reasons:

1. it will show up in your final (without markup) and if you turn that in, you will fail the assignment because the copy isn't clean. A final with random statements in it? No.


2. you will not be able to follow my edits if you constantly have a stream of corrections in your copy
