Are the assignments sufficiently edifying? Is the silence perhaps a
polite way of communicating boredom? This may be one of those times
when you're the master of your fate.

To be frank, I have trouble with the notion of a group of
experienced, working editors *needing* a grammar brush-up. Rather
as improbable as college math instructors brushing up on 9th grade
algebra -- aren't these concepts in the air they breathe all day,
every day?
