“Took a little rereading to hash it out.”
I wrote articles for the local paper in the ‘90’s. This was when they started to consolidate and the first thing the new owners did was fire the editors. The writers were used to being backstopped so they’d just throw articles together and the editors would catch many of the errors. But you could see the content devolve. Finally, when I got two black, fresh-out-of-college girls (I was older than their combined age.) editing my articles I called them and told them to take my byline off anything they edited because editing-in “blacklish” was not acceptable. They graciously let me out of my contract.
