Copy editing exercises

The exercise articles may include errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, fact, consistency, structure or editorializing. Please find and edit as many errors as you can find. You are free to add comments to explain your edits. Along with this, write a headline between 55 to 80 characters for each story. Also, while we do not expect you to know AP style rules for the exercises, please note that the copy editors at the Daily Bruin edit articles for AP style as well, which you will be trained for once you become a Copy intern.

Just For Fun

These are some issues that are hotly contested and widely debated in the newsroom when both snacks and patience are running low. Please feel free to express your true, unedited thoughts and feelings about them below – there is NO right answer. They are, after all, just for fun.

Team Oxford Comma vs. Team, Just No
What are your thoughts and feelings about using Oxford commas? Please explain why you are for, against or indifferent about Oxford commas.

Grammar pet peeve
What is that one grammar gaffe that really ticks you off, and why? How have your experiences with it shaped who you are as a person?

If you read The Onion, list up to three of your favorite headlines (optional).
... Because who are we kidding, The Onion is clearly journalism at its finest. We at Copy strive to create witty, punny, attention-grabbing headlines and we’d like to know what kind of headlines you feel achieve this standard.
