Dare to compare
July 17, 2008
I had some fun earlier this week when one area rag cut some copy editing corners, resulting in a headline hee hee.
This morning I’m doing something similar with a blotter item – only don’t wait for the hee hee. It’s not coming.
Laziness like this - and on a damn blotter item – is just aggravating as hell.
But, hey, I haven’t finished my coffee yet, so maybe it’s just me …

Shouldn’t “copy editing” be hyphenated in this context? I’ll defer to your expert opinion, of course

Yes, indeedy. I was tweaking you since you were tweaking The Local Rag; I figured turnabout is fair play, right?
