I've noticed different editors have different things in mind when they do corrections, and it can lead to things being corrected that are not helpful for learning the language. For instance, some people focus a lot on making the text look more like formal written Chinese, so whole sentences get rewritten and I don't know if they changed it because it was grammatically correct or because they just think it doesn't look formal enough to be written down. Also small it leads to things like changing 很多 to 许多, which is kind of obvious, but if I used 很多 in the text I probably had a reason and it's not worth correcting if it's still grammatically correct. Other times, a sentence gets completely reworded so that the point I'm trying to make becomes completely different. I don't mind fixing the grammar (我在家有很多书 --> 我家的书很多) because that's what I want to learn, but if the point of the sentence changes completely to something I didn't mean but that the editor thinks makes a nicer sentence, I don't see how that's helpful.
Does this ring true for anyone? Am I being too demanding?
