Copy editors are a funny sort. They have a wicked sense of humor, know a little bit about a whole lot and operate by the book -- the AP Stylebook.
But when that apostrophe's in the wrong place, mister, they get mean.
GHNewsroom has started a new blog/outlet-to-vent for GateHouse News Service editors Lisa Glowinski, Michael Toeset and Katie Anderson, titled -- not "entitled," thank you -- Editing Words.
Blending if-we-don't-laugh-we-might-cry-over-all-these-typos humor with serious smarts, Editing Words is updated Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with tips and tricks on style, grammar, punctuation and just plain good writing.
Users can comment on blog posts, and feel free to e-mail the writers with topic ideas, funny headlines, grammar gaffes and the like: lglowinski@corp.gatehousemedia.com, mtoeset@corp.gatehousemedia.com, kbartholomew@gatehousemedia.com.
