“4 Copy Editors Killed In …” the funniest spoof I’ve read in ages!
I found this delicious article over at Colinology and couldn’t resist sharing it with those few people who don’t follow Colin [you really should you know].
As Colin says, this is the kind of article that only us writing nerds would find funny, so the rest of you should go make a cup of coffee and come back tomorrow as I’m thinking of posting something foodie. What? You’re not into food either? -rolls eyes- Some people are so hard to please…

I am the kind of person who always has to know why things are the way they are so my interests range from genetics and biology to politics and what makes people tick.
For fun I play online mmorpgs, read, listen to a music, dance when I get the chance and landscape my rather large block.
Work is writing. When a story I am working on is going well I'm on cloud nine. On bad days I go out and dig big holes...

This was so funny, I immediately sent the link to my favorite Chicago Style book proponent. As I’m more of a NYTimes stylebook type we have had actual arguments about this sort of thing. LOL
