After writing down a copy suggestion, which includes a client's URL, during a review:

JCW: Um, you just abbreviated the URL, as shorthand, right?

Sigh.

JCW: Is non-toxic one word or hyphenated when used on its own?
Me: It's hyphenated.
JCW: Are you sure?
Me: Look it up.

2 minutes later ...

Me: And?
JCW: It's hyphenated.

Sigh.

JCW: I just want to check – should there be a space between the last word and the question mark?

Sigh.

While checking my own copy in a layout:

Me: There's a word missing here.
JAD: I deleted it.
Me: Why?
JAD: I didn't know what it meant.

Sigh.

Copy. Paste. Two.

In celebration of over 1,000 views in just two months:


"Are you incapable of rational thought?"

Happy sigh.

While reviewing first radio script:

Me: Your copy needs to flow a bit more, it's too staccato.
JCW: Oh, but I thought it was supposed to be hard-sell.
Me: Yes, but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a connection between each line. For e.g. ...
JCW: Oh, okay, cool.

30 min later, while reviewing second radio script (same JCW):

Me: Your copy needs to flow a bit more, it's too staccato.

Sigh.
