Another fine Testy Copy Editors thread, this one about a newsroom cleanup that uncovers a booklet about one of those “maestro” gurus from the mid-’90s, which includes swell advice like this:
-To begin setting up a Display Desk, first take a copy desk and absolve it of responsibility for editing copy.
Because, you know, even though this is what we’re paid to do, it’s such fiendish work that we simply must have absolution to wash away our sins.
