the last edit i will make (of this manuscript).

some tasks will always be easier than others. for example,

• criticizing others or yourself is easy, but rectifying inaccuracies or imprecisions is less easy;
  
  
• jotting down comments by hand is easy, but fixing the comments in front of a screen is less easy.
  

i'm in the home stretch. i'm this close to a finished, readable manuscript.
