The Editor’s Fedora Part 4

Jeudi mars 13, 2014

What programs are editors using? Editors I interviewed when writing the technology section for the third edition of EAC’s Editing Canadian English said this is […]

Notes From Away: Cape Breton English

Mardi août 5, 2014

My first job, selling sundries the summer I was 12 to the cottagers and campers who flocked to Cape Breton’s fabled Mira River, was about as far from the language business as you can get. Yet a few days in, I learned a humbling linguistic lesson. Three times the customer bellowed his order across the […]

Editors and Their Clients

Mardi janvier 13, 2015

Over a period of years, that accumulated experience makes us the editors we are today. In recent posts to this site, Lori Burwash has described the challenges of writing and […]

Editing Goes Global: A British Perspective

Mardi août 11, 2015

I still vividly remember my first experience of an editorial conference. I came away with a very strong sense of belonging and of being part of a community. I probably learned some useful facts or techniques, but more importantly I was able to have discussions with colleagues and make strong connections with a number of […]

Real E-Books

Mardi octobre 20, 2015

Be on the Ball With the Origins of Phrases | Linguistics, Frankly

Mardi octobre 27, 2015

My topic today may seem a bit ribald, but I’m sure you’ll have a ball with it. It’s about monkey business with the origins of phrases, and how to make sure you stay on the ball and don’t hit a wall. People love stories about the origins of words and phrases, but many of them […]

Commission of Inquiry Reports: A Special Kind of Editing

Mardi janvier 12, 2016

These commissions are appointed every now and again by the federal or one of the provincial governments to investigate and […]
