My Network

février 12, 2019 by Brendan O'Brien

I went freelance at the start of 1993, working from my house in Dublin. I didn’t have a computer till midway through that year — work arrived at first by courier or in the mail, on paper. I had some reference books and, if I was lucky, a publisher’s style guide to consult. For many […]

Quick Topics: Born or Made

février 5, 2019 by Anna Williams | 23 commentaires sur Quick Topics: Born or Made

Many of us started out in other careers and came to editing via circuitous routes. Some of us were teachers; some were engineers; some were writers who drifted into the editing side of the industry. In some cases, we had jobs that required us to fix other people’s work on a regular basis, and that’s […]

Professional Editorial Standards: What Does an Editor Do Today?

janvier 29, 2019 by Tilman Lewis

Editors Canada’s Professional Editorial Standards (PES) describe the responsibilities of an editor. The scope of PES is broad; this series explores how the standards apply to a variety of editing contexts. I’ve always found the granularity of PES daunting; I’m more inclined to “find the voice and let it sing.” But comparing the 2016 revision […]

Google as the Editor

janvier 22, 2019 by Marianne Grier | 6 commentaires sur Google as the Editor

If you’re a Gmail user, you may have adopted its new Smart Compose feature. This perplexing time-saver has made me question the future of communications since it appeared in my inbox. Smart Compose uses machine learning to help users write faster, clearer emails by anticipating what they’re trying to say and suggesting text they can […]

Yeet Citationality: Yippie-ki-yay!

janvier 15, 2019 by James Harbeck | 3 commentaires sur Yeet Citationality: Yippie-ki-yay!

The voting is in, and the American Dialect Society’s Slang Word of the Year is… yeet. Yeet is not so well known to oldsters, but it is in vogue among the youth. Its popularity demonstrates a central fact of how vocabulary spreads. It also leads us to Bugs Bunny, Clark Gable and Judith Butler. People […]

Revisiting Karen Virag: I Are Confused

janvier 8, 2019 by Karen Virag | Un commentaire sur Revisiting Karen Virag: I Are Confused

In memory of Karen Virag, who passed away on Jan. 11, 2014, we are pleased to republish one of her popular blog posts from February 2013. I are confused, aren’t I? Have you ever wondered why we say, “He is, isn’t he?” and “She is, isn’t she?” but we don’t say “I am, amn’t I?” […]

Wasted Words: The Rebound of Christmas

Décembre 11, 2018 by Wilf Popoff | 4 commentaires sur Wasted Words: The Rebound of Christmas

Have you noticed how Christmas is sneaking back into respectability? Three decades ago school Christmas concerts and office Christmas parties began to disappear in apparent deference to multiculturalism. Even the word for this feast was proscribed. I promptly fell into line. Everyone should feel welcome, and I acknowledged that Christianity’s celebration of the winter solstice […]
