Please write me a story and email it to me.

I am thinking about it. I always feeled that nice Britney could use some good spanking anyway.
 
Sorry, English is not my native tongue. By the way, where I come from we call somebody like you a 'comma fucker'.

Children, children, play nicely together.
 
For some reason, only one came up...oh, well, I'm not going to bother trying to find it again. Sorry, guys = p
 
A "comma fucker", eh? Kinky. I had no idea that English was not your first language. I am sorry. Many English and Americans fuck up their language on a daily basis. I guess that's a pet peeve of mine. Again, I am sorry.



...From the "Labeled titty comma fucker".
:rolleyes:
 
we have to incoroporate that phrase into our everyday speech.

"hey, Chris, you old comma fucker, come give me a kiss!"
 
i worked on a copy desk for years. Hell, those places are swing clubs for comma fuckers. We had a punctuation orgy every night.:p

Well...I am actually more apt to get really pissed off (angry, for those of you who don't speak the same language as me and think I must be going to the bathroom) than turned on. But it could happen. Which is more likely, if I read something totally perfect, or if there were a lot?

definitely the latter, unfortunately. When i read copy for a living, i always felt like i had failed if i didn't find any typos or errors in a story. My theory is, none of the reporters is perfect, so at least one mistake MUST be there and it's my job to find it.


If a particular reporter was a real asshole, i'd get a perverse thrill out of changing his/her copy.

This is my 1000th post...better make it good, lol.

I have been there. This paper I used to work at had this reporter who was just retarded. She did a lifestyle page, and I would always get stuck totally redoing it, because everything from the copy to the pictures to the layout sucked. I guess it was sort of a perversely enjoyable thing for me... lol.

(Even if it did tick her off everytime, maybe BECAUSE it ticked her off everytime...)

LOL! That's the funny part. It is invariably the ones who don't know what the fuck they are doing who are so resentful of editing. Nevermind the fact you save them daily from looking like the jackasses they are.
 
getting the story

A reporter actually thanked me once. Summer of 1979, I think. I still cherish the moment.

LOL, axel, i feel your pain. I got my "thank you" back in 1996, framed the story. Sometimes it gets me through sleepless nights.:)
