It's a commonplace that there's something on the Web for everybody... even copy editors. If you're not sure but want to know what a copy editor does, or if you're a copy editor and you want to rub virtual elbows with others of your ilk, The Slot is a good place to do it. Almost worth the price of admission by itself: the site proprietor's forthcoming book's title: Lapsing into a Comma. I say "almost" there because the site is full of wonderful stuff. If you care about words and punctuation (and aren't currently locked in a death's-grip battle with your own copy editor, over your own deathless prose), be sure to see the Sharp Points section especially. (Just catch it now; the site will be significantly de-enhanced come mid-2000.)
