Sweetie, copy editors are, by nature, sticks-in-the-mud! I've done that job; it tends to rob your life of all light and joy because you're always worried you missed a split infinitive and you're going to get reamed out. She is probably incapable of turning off her inner AP Stylebook long enough to let go and enjoy herself for a few hours!

Maybe you and your friend could invite her out to share a pitcher of margaritas one night? That might loosen up the old sphincter!
