Thanks! This was well done instructional. I'm looking forward to doing copy editing so this is quite helpful for me.

Some of these tips are right for the wrong reason. E.g. 30: "Most blogs have either no call to action, or beat you over the head with it." The reason "either" goes before "have" is not because of awkward phrasing, it's because "either" introduces two alternates. To put it after "have" is to say the two alternates pertain to that verb (i.e. "Most blogs have either no CTA or one CTA, and some beat you over the head with it"). In this case, the author is trying to say the two alternates are a) having no CTAs or b) having CTAs with which they beat you over the head. Since having something is one of the alternates, "either" as a word that introduces the alternates has to go before. Also, "it" pertains to the call to action, not the blogs. The blogs are the subject of the sentence, the CTA is the object of the verb "have" and "it" is an object pronoun representing the CTA. Since "call to action" in "no call to action" is singular, "it" is correct.

I*truly* like your copyediting videos. I like that the mark ups are red for removed text and blue for additions. My Word Track Changes are all the same color. What word processing program are you using?

More of a line edit than a grammar and mechanics take on copyediting.

Completely agree. This is almost entirely out of scope for copyediting.
