Hi everyone, I went on vacation, and the icon on this app changed while I was gone. I probably won't be hanging out here much anymore. Please feel free to connect with me on LI and follow my business FB account. It's really a shame - I had some great interactions here.

@spanglykoala @JillCucchi @DrFranMazzilli @ryusufedit "Fortuna" by itself can mean "good luck" in other syntactic contexts. Cf. Lewis & Short s.v. fortuna, II.A.1

@spanglykoala @JillCucchi @DrFranMazzilli @ryusufedit According to Lewis & Short, as well as Traupman's Conversational Latin, wishing someone good luck would be "Feliciter!"

@ryusufedit No, I'm really not here anymore, but I saw the notification. According to Lewis & Short, as well as Traupman's Conversational Latin, wishing someone good luck would be "Feliciter!"

I consider indexing to be both information/knowledge work and a creative process, re-interpreting and restructuring a whole book. Automated indexes are still not very good. Any further thoughts, fellow indexers and @djbduncan?

@barrytorch14 Isn't it incredible? I was blown away when I finally got there. Took lots of photos of manuscripts!

@alexfreidus If you hire someone, please consider hiring a professional, not a student. Professional indexers most definitely can identify and properly index implicit complex concepts. Lists available at @IndexersCanada @ASIndexing @indexers

So what does an #editor do when they finally have a free slot in their schedule? Why, finally change all the hyphens to en dashes in number ranges on their website, of course! Send help.

Day 1 of #Editors23 #EditorsIRL was a great success -- interesting sessions and good conversation with #editor colleagues. And look what I found in my swag bag: a tiny @ChicagoManual pin! I kind of love it.

[Carla DeSantis Editing @CDeSantisEditor]

@RobinMarwick It was a great session, Robin, and also entertaining! Thank you!

[Carla DeSantis Editing @CDeSantisEditor]

Aimee Wall's talk was excellent. So interesting to learn about the different ways that vernaculars are treated in literary #translation.
