Copy editors are the unsung heroes of communication. They take your heartfelt message and turn it into something even your dog wouldn't recognize.

You ever notice how copy editors are like the grammar police? They correct your mistakes with the precision of a ninja, but instead of throwing shurikens, they toss red pens.

I've figured it out – copy editors are part of a secret society dedicated to eradicating unnecessary commas. They gather in dimly lit rooms, chanting, No more pauses! I sent them an email once, and they removed so many commas that my sentences sounded like a hyperactive toddler on a sugar rush.

You ever notice how copy editors treat commas like they're endangered species? They sprinkle them around so sparingly, you'd think they were conserving punctuation. I asked a copy editor once if they were allergic to commas, and they said, No, just allergic to unnecessary pauses.

Copy editors have this magical ability to find mistakes you didn't even know existed. It's like they have a secret sixth sense for detecting misplaced apostrophes and rogue commas. I handed in my paper thinking it was a literary masterpiece; they handed it back looking like a crime scene with all the red ink.
