It's what I do. Rephrase: It's what I try to do. The English language can be a difficult beast to control.
Here, I'll try to give some advice on taming the beast.
"English, mind!" I'll say. It probably won't listen, but if it does you can read about it here.
Rephrase, without awkward animal-training comparison: I'll write about my gripes as a copy editor. I'll write about my successes and failures. I'll detail the philosophy that has landed me a spot at a Tampa Bay-area newspaper looking over news stories and messing them up completely.
It should be fun. Follow along, and be sure to tell me when I've lost my mind.
