I honestly don't care enough.

In keeping with the MB tradition of zeroing in on unimportant details, I'm afraid I have to come down on you hard here, ZFZ.

"Coping" is part of the verb "to cope," both words having a vowel sound that rhymes with "soap." To preserve the vowel sound in the verb "to cop," the -ing form should be spelled "copping," the same way the verb "to shop" changes to "shopping."
