RE: Pilot Editing Study?

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

They answered your question already on p. 2:

"The first edition elicited several comments about 
the use of the word 'edit' as a noun. The latest 
edition of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 
defines the noun 'edit' as 'an instance of editing,' 
and this is the sense in which we use the term. 
Since The Levels of Edit is an attempt to quantify 
the editing process, the noun is used in order to
denote this quantification."
