As you may have learned in class, or about journalism in general, a vigorous battle between writer and copy editor occurs every time an article goes to print.
As the writer portrays the story and its' players, the copy editor "corrects" the faults in AP style.
Guide in hand, bible as its referred, this brave tactician of AP commitment peruses each character of the article guaranteeing a flawless product, as best they can.
For even the best of copy editors miss a few.
As we lamented on the tediousness and attention that must be taken to produce such a perfection, epiphany struck!...and hard.
Behold! The latest creation of a faux brilliant mind! I give you the AP style error scanning pen, coming to a media near you...maybe, hopefully, eventually?
