The Editor's Tick
Bet all you scribes out there didn't know (or care?) that copy editors have different, specialized areas of editing neurosis. Every copy editor is driven to special distraction by a certain type of error; sometimes editors can become so fixated on that error that they gloss over other things that need fixing in copy.
Personally, I fixate on the "one-word, two-word or hyphenated" question. I bet I open the dictionary 50 times in a shift to look up terms like "lockjaw," "cell phone" and "jump-start."
What about you, oh geeks of mine? What copy error is your (dis)pleasure?

I'm on constant watch for the misuse of "bemused."
That's funny. I'm on constant watch for reruns of "Bewitched."
craig: I am not bemused.
derek: Your cue.
In our recently deceased microzones, I would frequently see the word "pre-registration." It drove me to the brink of insanity. Whenever I came across it, I imagined long lines of frazzled mothers holding paperwork, desperate to register to register their kids for something.
The Chief is right about my headline. Goddamn hell.
And, I'm with you, Leslie. I usually see "pre-register" in the same graf as "free and open to the public."
