4. I revised this story: Mr. Awesome, referencing, though not always abiding by, The Chicago Manual of Style. [stet the author’s use of smushedtogether words, and his “5AM” style for time]
Mr. Awesome – Suggested Edits

5. I revised this essay: A Fun New War. I only made one change, because I gave the directive: stets author’s artsy use of hyphens, and smushed-together words–unless he hyphens a word when Webster’s says it should be smushed into one word (correct that); and tread lightly with author’s artsy use of commas: query rather than change unless readability is obviously impaired.
