Copy Editor's Lament (The Layoff Song)

[Maamiyn]

Where are my apostrophes and quotation marks?

The most humorous thing about the video is that SUPORT was typed into the Google search field rather than SUPPORT. Maybe diminishing professional skill is part of the reason for copyeditors having been laid off en masse. However, Im one of those recently axed and under-appreciated copyeditors, so I wont press the point much further than to point out the unintended humor.

LOL!  I'm a copy editor.

As a sports editor I can relate to a lot of this. Sadly at my paper there are no real copy editors left to show this video.

Haha good stuff. But get a job on the net. Newspapers suck--they smell, and are read by older people only, now!!!!

Copy editors have always been my heroes. Thanks for the video and snappy song.
