Look, all I'm saying is that if you wanted to hire a copy editor, now's the time to do it -- cheap. So, if you're printing a menu, posting a handbill, or like this gent at yesterday's building and construction trades San Francisco demonstration, donning a strike T-shirt, do yourself a favor: Hire a copy editor and have your shortcomings condescendingly foisted upon you in private, and not for all the world to see.
The Copy Editors' (note apostrophe after the s) Local Branch points out that it's a shame when an organization doesn't know its way around where to stick its apostrophes. And while Germans like to randomly Capitalize Words for Emphasis, there are lots of odd things Germans like.
Meanwhile, the gent in the shirt notes that the 2004 strike this clothing was created to support ended favorably for his union. Despite the grammatical errors. Fair enough.
