To copywrite — to write copy — is to craft words into an advertisement, article or other piece that will generally move on to a copy editor.
Example: When I was a copywriter I wrote a play about writing copy and got a copyright so no one else could pretend to be the author.

Amazing! I'll have to send that to John Berky. His abruckner.com site often features unusual arrangements of Bruckner's music. Here's a recent one:

Either “The reason is...” or “because...” will work.
Don't write “The reason why is...” or “The reason why is because.”
Concise is cleaner.
Example: There were four reasons he did it: The alternative was worse; he couldn’t get the supplies; no one was helping; and he was naked.

Know the difference: utmost vs. upmost
It’s utmost.
There technically is a word “upmost” but not in this country and not in this century.
Example: She is the utmost expert on syntax, and yet people Google her tips in doubt.

Editing bit: utilize
Use “use” every time. Strike “utilize” from your life.
This is especially important in writing.

Editing bit: The expression is "anchors aweigh."
It is NOT anchors away, unless you're cleaning up all your anchors, which, you know, you're not.

Editing bit: Don't use "whilst" or "amongst."
For clean, professional copy, use "while" and "among."
Also, "use" is better than "utilize" in all instances.

Comma Week, Cont.
DROPPING A WORD
If you're repeating a word pattern, you can drop words and use commas. (The dogs got bones. The cats, toy mice.)

Editing bit: When referring to the birth name of a male who has changed his name, use né not née.
Examples: John Cougar, né John Mellencamp, was given his stage name by his manager.
Cher, née Cherilyn Sarkisian, is the mother of Chaz Bono, né Chastity Bono.

Editing bit: There is no such thing as a "first annual" event.
If you plan to make it annual, you can say that, or you can call it "inaugural."

Editing bit: espresso
Pronounce it "ess-press-oh"
If the back of your throat shows up, tell it it was uninvited to this party. It's all about the teeth and lips.

Editing bit: goodbye, goodby or good-bye?
Use "goodbye."
Example: I don't like the goodbye ritual so I usually pretend I have to go to the bathroom right as my guests are leaving.

Editing bit: Don't use the word “different” after a number.
Don’t say, “I crashed three different cars” or “I went to three different parties."
The adjective is unnecessary. It was obviously not the same one three times.

Just take that word out.
