Ugh.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram ran a column on how easy copy-editing is. (Just learn these basic rules!)
Copy editing may not be as hard as you may believe. The bulk of what you have to do is learn how to identify three common errors -- comma splices, lack of subject-verb agreement and nonparallel structures -- and you'll probably find a good proportion of the errors in any given document.
To think that all this time, my employers have been expecting so much.
