What’s That There, Then? More Cape Breton English

juin 16, 2015 by Frances Peck | 21 commentaires sur What’s That There, Then? More Cape Breton English

We take a lot for granted when we’re kids. Maybe most things. Growing up in Cape Breton in the 1970s and 1980s, enforced post-structuralist studies and a career of editorial skepticism still years away, I barely gave terminology a thought. Things had names. You might not always understand them (like boonabrayed), but you didn’t question […]

Plough Through Enough Dough to Make You Cough or Hiccough | Linguistics, Frankly

juin 9, 2015 by James Harbeck | 2 commentaires sur Plough Through Enough Dough to Make You Cough or Hiccough | Linguistics, Frankly

You want some tough spelling for an English learner to plough through? Head to ough. There are six different ways it can be said at the end of a word, as in plough, through, dough, enough, cough and (for those who spell it that way) hiccough.

For the Love of Science

mai 26, 2015 by Leonie Pipe | Un commentaire sur For the Love of Science

In advance of Editing Goes Global, New Zealand’s Leonie Pipe shares her story with the Editors’ Weekly of how she became a science editor. A circuitous route I fell into editing as I fall into most of my life’s activities — by some circuitous, curly-whirly route. I’ve always loved writing, and when I was a […]

Un programme d’agrément en français : utile? | Why Do We Need French Certification?

mai 19, 2015 by Sandra Gravel | Un commentaire sur Un programme d’agrément en français : utile? | Why Do We Need French Certification?

Should Editors Be Able to Write?

avril 28, 2015 by Rosemary Shipton | 15 commentaires sur Should Editors Be Able to Write?

We editors talk at length about different kinds of editing and who does what, and we generally assume that we’re working on a text written by someone else.

English Editing in Quebec: False Cognates, Syntax and Interferences — Oh My!

avril 14, 2015 by Dwain Richardson | 4 commentaires sur English Editing in Quebec: False Cognates, Syntax and Interferences — Oh My!

Here are two French excerpts and their translations (emphases and bold prints are mine): Donner la vedette à la nature luxuriante jusqu’à ce point impose le respect. Plus encore, ce lieu intemporel inspire le recueillement propre au dénuement référant à l’art de l’aménagement extérieur japonais.… Récipiendaire du Prix X, le jury a particulièrement remarqué le […]
