The absolute bottom line in coaching is organization and preparing for practice.

A harsh reality of newspaper editing is that the deadlines don't allow for the polish that you expect in books or even magazines

Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise.

My theory is that, just like with omitting a final comma in a list when not essential for meaning, publishers are trying to save paper and ink or pixels on-screen.
