Editors can be picky little bitches.

From the monthly Chicago Manual of Style Q&A:
Q. For Chicago style, is there a mandate on whether a paper clip or staple should be used?
A. In manuscript preparation, paper clips work well; binder clips and rubber bands are ideal. Such WMDs as staples should never be used. Never. If one lands on your desk, it should be dismantled immediately. [SAFETY ALERT: Proceed with caution. May result in torn documents and/or personal injury unless performed by a professional trained in the use of the proper device (and probably even then).]
A-FUCKING-MEN. PREACH IT!
OK, how the hell would I get a staple through my manuscript? It’s 400 some odd pages long. That’ll be one big ass staple.
Amen indeed. How DOES anyone get a staple through a manuscript anyway?
Yer so funny.
xo
HELLO???
anyone here?
I fucking hate staples.
I’ve been M.I.A. for a while now too.
Hope you’re doing well chica.
