I chose 'We so are good...'. I am the sole tech writer/editor in my current
assignment and in my next assignment. I'm always shocked and appalled at the
errors I miss in things I've proofread multiple times. It's rare I see a job
ad for an editor. It's far more common to see an ad looking for a writer who
can edit their own work.

I'm also the whole enchilada, and I've always considered myself one of the
best editors I've ever met. But, I chose "Other/None of the Above," because I've
always appreciated having other writers and doing peer-edits of each other.
The few times I've worked in departments that had dedicated editors, I
considered it a wonderful thing, though somewhat of a luxury. I know I can't
catch everything, and I always appreciate additional sets of eyes looking over
my writing.
