Listening to two guys at the airport share the rejection they feel when their editor sends them corrections. Sorry lads, no one's perfect. #editors #editing

@dotnetcowboy Boooooo hope you're finally off now!

Delighted you enjoyed #atlantec @Rorymon Your blog perfectly captured why we set it up initially. Galway is a hub of software development, and there's more to come! https://t.co/U7PdPYXvkB

@cathalfla @chalmers_alana Uh, WRONG. Procedures should be imperative- and task- based. I'd never include filler info that was already clearly described on-screen.

[Shona O'Flaherty @ShonaOFlaherty]

@chalmers_alana What do you use?

[Shona O'Flaherty @ShonaOFlaherty]

Our team fought a lot about this but ultimately agree (I think?) https://t.co/ftvutPQKPi

We now use “emoji” for the plural, rather than “emojis.” (1/7) #APStyleChat

@dotnetcowboy Twitter. The home town you return to find its on fire and everything's on fire and you're on fire and oh my god why did nobody bring the extinguisher

It is *fascinating* what happens to language when you study translation history https://t.co/0jOLiPB4tC

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

“A translator always makes choices.”

Classicist Dr Emily Wilson is the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English - and she found that many men before her added sexist or misogynist terms that never existed in the original Greek.

@dmullaney Current law is that the name of the printers has to be on the posters. They often put them in barely there font colour. Any without printer information are illegal and a call to your local garda station should see them removed.

@chalmers_alana égoportrait ! J'adore.

Found on our electric snowblower assembly instructions: The mild rantings of a technical writer.

[Shona O'Flaherty @ShonaOFlaherty]

I wrote about the benefits - and costs- of including visual content in technical documentation. #techwriting #infodesign #userexperience https://t.co/8IHcEDREIZ

[Innovatia @InnovatiaInc]

Visuals give so much value to our users. The truth is, there’s a big hidden cost to images. So now the question becomes not “are images good?” because we know they are, but rather, are they worth 1000 words – literally? https://t.co/1sclYuzsh7
