@peyton_k @j_kalla Thanks for the shout-out Kyle! I do offer this - basically we have a call to get clear on what you need and timelines, etc. Then I put together a team of specialist translators for the languages you need and send you a quote. Happy to chat: [email protected]

If you're a behavioural or political scientist and a native Spanish speaker, why not write in your mother tongue and let me take care of the rest? Translation or copy editing – we’ll decide on a project-by-project basis according to your needs.

2) 'a brilliant football player' could not be written as 'a brilliant and football player', so a comma would be incorrect here.
3) In 'a long, hot summer day', 'long' and 'hot' both refer to the 'summer day'. They therefore need a comma between them but not before 'summer'. [6/6]

[Susie Jackson | SJ Language Services @SJLanguage]

Ever written a sentence with multiple adjectives before a noun and wondered whether there should be a comma between them? It depends what type of adjectives they are: 'coordinate' or 'cumulative' #scicomm #AcademicTwitter #AcWri #writingtips [1/6]

[Susie Jackson | SJ Language Services @SJLanguage]

If 'and' would fit between the adjectives, they're coordinate and you should use a comma. If not, they're cumulative and you shouldn't. Some examples:
1) 'a big, heavy box' could be written as 'a big and heavy box', so it needs a comma. [5/6]

"The texts we sent her were particularly difficult to translate, in light of the specialist terminology and contextual specifics involved, but Susie rose to the challenge"

@Paul_Seli Wow, I’ve never come across cleaning costs that high! Does seem a bit unreasonable if you’re also going to punish messy clients through a bad review 🤔

[Susie Jackson | SJ Language Services @SJLanguage]

@Paul_Seli Whether you’re messy or clean, the host still has to wash the bedding, clean the bathroom, etc. I guess it’s easier to charge the same fee to all guests so that costs balance out overall?

Tip: Use a semicolon to separate elements in a series that already contain commas.

Example:

The color order was red, yellow, blue; blue, yellow, red; or yellow, red, blue.
