On this topic, does anyone else have problems with clients who supply
really, *really*, bad copy?  Sometimes I am just itching to change the
grammar or spelling in a piece but I refrain from doing so.   I once had a
client who strongly objected to me changing a spelling mistake so now I
dont do it without written consent.
