I don't get this writing copy thing. It first seemed like the tweet was quoted and captioned "hard pass" with a repulsed gif maybe because a copywriter doesn't even know how to spell their job title, saying writing copy instead? But the article keeps using the word so that can't be it.
Not sure if copywriting (with or without space) is a thing but copywriter and copyediting is: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copywriting https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copywriting
Writing copy, no idea what that's supposed to be: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/writing%20copy https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/writing%20copy
Anyone here in the know of this jargon? And how is it related to "MLP"s (to stay in the custom jargosphere)?

- cardamomo 5y ago"Copy," in the news and publicity world, basically means "text." It is old printing and newsroom jargon. See definition 4: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copy https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copy "Writing copy" just means writing text for publication. "Copywriting" means the same, though I don't think most copyeditors would let the word "copywriting" go to print. I think the terms is are used relatively clearly in the context of the article, so long as you know that "copy" means text to be published.
