Barb Philbrick mourned <<I was mortified once when I reread
a cover letter that I'd written. I said I was looking for a
"copyrighting" job instead of "copywriting." Gosh, wonder
why I didn't get the job?)>>
Well, on the face of it, I suspect it's because they were
looking for writers and not editors or intellectual
property lawyers, but that could be my editorial cap
clouding my vision again. <grin>
