Words can take on new life in different jobs. For instance, the word "deck" for magazine/online editors most often does not refer to something attached to a house or apartment. If you hear that word in an editorial office, it most likely means the line below the title and above the line that mentions the author. You won't see one for this blog post because Blogger either doesn't have that option or I haven't found how to enable the field for it yet.
There are other words editors use that are used uniquely compared to normal usage. This is only a small list that doesn't include all of them:
-Byline - The author line.
-Style- There are a few reference books that editors use to find out how things should appear called style guides. Examples of how these might be used are when an editor wants to know whether or not to spell out numbers and to add a comma in a list before "and" or "but". What the editor decides most of the time depends on the style guide that a publication uses.
-Blackprint - The printer sends a sample of what it will print in a black and white format. Editors can then check if all the pages are in order, if there are any printer mistakes, and might even proofread the whole edition again. Any changes that are needed will likely cost a fee.
