I've Never Heard Jordan Criticize His Main Editor. - Edit 2

Its the editors' job to find redundancies like this.
And she indulged the "sin" far more in him than she has with Sanderson. I once chuckled about it, but Jordan didn't have his wife edit his work, he married his editor (a stroke of genius I bet many aspiring writers wish had occurred to them. ) If the editor has a copy of Fowler's Modern English Usage Dictionary they'll ignore the criticism rather than what's being criticized.
I don't think it's that big a deal. It's not like the guy doesn't know pronouns exist or something.
