In Lynne We Truss

Hear, O' Lynne, the prayers we offer for the copy. Have pity on those who have written bad copy, abused the copy and generally failed to acknowledge the beauty of the written word with the wickedness of their sins. Lead the copy away from the clutches of crazy marketing people with bad spelling. Protect the copy now and always from the wounds of misuse of punctuation and misapplied cleverness. May we ever keep safe in all its fullness the gift of the word and may your mercy restore us to grammar. Amen
