If you ever have wondered what the hell a copy editor does, here is the bible. Read it. Understand it. Thank them for it. And let your blood boil, because they don't deserve this.
At the end of tonight, the copy desk at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch will be no more. I have many thoughts on this. Here are a few of them. #copyediting
