[Cfp-interest 3028] Re: C23 editorial review draft

[Rajan Bhakta]

Hmmm, good point, though I think this would be better as an NB comment on a ballot or a request to the editor rather than a DIS editorial review comment. For DIS editorial review, we’re only supposed to check that fixes to NB comments were applied correctly.
If anyone feels strongly, I can add this to the “Non NB comment” section at the end of the email.

I notice cases where a list of things is specified as either

         A, B, C and D
or
         A, B, C, and D


Should we strive for one or the other form? I personally prefer the latter
but that does not matter. According to Strunk, a professor from Yale whose
book

         The Elements of Style

is an often quoted authority, both are perfectly legal English.
