Copy editing is seen by many media organisations as a low-ranking and slightly demeaning position, and I'd really like it to be taken more seriously.
For example, the attached screenshot. Initially I had NO idea what word you were aiming for here, but does "clammed" mean "slammed"? Unless your copy editors are non-English-speakers - and at times I believe they must be - there's simply no excuse for this to get past the keeper.
