They've probably been using Strunk and White (`that pox-ridden little
pocketbook of pointless pontifications' --- Pullum). That's enough reason
to ignore all their grammatical corrections, I think.

Have a flame of grammatical `fixes' by copyeditors who don't know enough
about the language they're `fixing':

(The comma after `And' *is* incorrect, though, I'd say.)
