I agree. If you want your engineers to read for content and not style,
the style issues should be taken care of before anyone outside your
office sees your work.
The engineers I work with here spend practically their entire lives on
the job. I think it all boils down to demonstrating that I respect
their time. In turn, they respect mine, and when the time comes that
they *must* review a draft MS for technical accuracy, it gets the
quick turnaround it needs.
