Indeed, but Cory is the one who has many times more typos and general carelessness than the others. He is a very good writer, campaigner and sometimes polemicist, but having read his fiction and his posts here, if anyone’s writing would improve across the board with the services of a dedicated editor, it’s his. (HIs writing in other places, like The Guardian, is usually better quality - a) I suspect he spends more ‘time per word’ on things like that than on posts here, and why wouldn’t he? b) well, maybe places like The Guardian have sub-editors?)
What’s also annoying is that he appears to ignore/never read comments. Other writers here make errors, are told, and update/correct, but Cory rarely seems to.
So I guess I’m of the same mind too, but as you say
But even with the reasons re cost and delay that you note, is it too much to expect a writer to actually read what they write? It seems like he writes and moves on and never re-reads. If he did, the quality of his writing would be improved for sure, but quality costs money, eh (as you note).
Or maybe he could try one of the Six Sigma course from the BB shop, what with SIx Sigma being" a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects" (and not merely a “project management methodology” offering certification, as the post linked to above suggests)
Hmm. I’d better /rant, I guess.
PS I love BB, even with all its defects. 
ETA for grammatical purposes - I am my own sub-editor and just a bit slow sometimes.
