On the subject of copy editors. Perhaps we won’t be firing them. Perhaps they’ll be coming after journos if they carry on like this:

Warning - bad language ensues.
Stroppy brit journos.

@Andy,
That’s pretty awesome. I will say that I have been upset by some editing that has been done to my work over the years. Sometimes I feel like copy editors (or subeditors) just want to impart their will onto pieces because they don’t get to write.
On that note, however, I have never wrote angry e-mails to people, especially expletive filled ones. But I have done copy editing in the past, and I recognize its importance. I must admit that my AP Style is very rusty.
You brits are just more fun.
