Hubpage editor has no idea of grammar.
That was one heck of a post; yes it was. I'm on your side.
However, welcome to HP.

That's just....
I woke up this morning and saw all the replies. Me thinks you've started a revolt here.
Looks like most of us have been messed over with at one time or another. Very fortunately, Robin does indeed intervene and fix most of the true fiascos. Also, considering this thread's title, you can bet HP staff has read it. I've also noticed from time to time editors suddenly disappearing from the Team roster. I tell ya, life is a tough town all around.
What can we do about it? Not much. Here's a post someone made about me a few days ago that still cracks me up:
"Awwww, it's cute how you expect everything to be easy instead of FUBAR"
I just continue to muddle along and do the best I can. As for your situation: yep, I'd yank that hub; revert it; move it somewhere else. I've done that, myself, many times. Hang in there!
I particularly agree with your reference to the word, "one". I use it as well.
"One should do such-and-such." is less confrontational to the reader than "You should do such-and-such." Leastwise that's the reason I use it.

Shout out to one of the editors
I'm not sure if any of the editorial staff read these forums, but I just wanted to give a shout out to the editor who's been going over my Spinditty articles recently. I'm not sure of his real name but he signs all of his comments "LD." When I get the "a quick edit to your...

My article is no longer my writing!
I am pretty insulted. Sorry, but it had to be said. I had written an article on here that had done really well. In fact, it was one of my top earners. I went to answer a comment on it, and I stared at it for at least five minutes. I no longer recognised it! The photos had been changed, the writing...

Changing what an editor did on an article
How do you deal with a change that was made to an article by an HP editor? They unnecessarily changed the title of the article, I'd like to change it back to what it was. Is that what everyone else does when this kind of thing happens? Curious.
