Everyone on the interwebs is talking about Jane Austen's sloppy subbing skills . It turns out she wasn't the the pristine literary stylist most imagined, in fact, she got super liberal with her use of colons, capitals and commas when they weren't actually necessary (and here I was thinking spinsterhood was the only thing we had in common!) Obviously Jane's editor had to get busy with red marker and everything was heavily edited before it went to print. This is not that unusual it's just that Jane's brother Henry fuelled the myth that she never put a letter out of place when, a year after her death, in 1818 he wrote, "Everything came finished from her pen".
