Congrats folks! @OHnewsroom &
@FakeCPstylebook should be next!
The feed?s clever, sometimes bizarre
humor skirts the edge of absurd at
times, but maintains the spirit of
the copy editor's bible.Some examples:
"?Catwoman? is the Batman villain.
?Cat Woman? is your neighbor whose
apartment smells funny.? ?Putting a
lowercase ?i? in front of capitalized
words in stories about Apple is iDiotic.?
The minds behind it are Ken Lowery,
a copy editor at United Methodist
Reporter in Dallas, and Mark Hale,
a friend of Lowery's in Louisville, Ky.
They're aided by a stable of contributors
called "The Bureau Chiefs" that includes
a librarian, an attorney and an associate
professor of English, among others.
