@Dottyeyes Patty - did you send me a FB friend request?

[Rhonda Bracey (@[email protected]) @cybertext]

@EditorsCanada @sciEditor Well deserved! Congratulations, Adrienne!

@Dottyeyes @mikepope @MegStEsprit Forgot to add the link! https://t.co/uP0ekWRZK0

@Dottyeyes @mikepope @MegStEsprit That'd be related to my 13 y.o. blog post on dating! And yes, it still holds up after all these years.

@Dottyeyes @mikepope @MegStEsprit Presentation = prezzo just to confuse things! And we also call it a walkie-talkie, though I haven't heard that expression in decades :-)

@Dottyeyes @mikepope @MegStEsprit We'd use 'fave' not 'favo', 'Aussie' for sure (pron. 'Ozzie', never 'Ossie' as many Americans say it), and wouldn't abbreviate 'translator'. For the earlier ones: sunnies (sunglasses), prezzies (presents), chalkies (teachers), ambo (paramedic/ambulance), garbo (garbage collector)

@H_E_Saunders Super timely. Dealing with my Dad's death last week and funeral tomorrow so some may not apply as already passed, and no doubt advice is for a specific country, but I'm sure to get general guidance from it. Thanks for sharing!

@EditorObscura If the author is of a certain age, this may be what they learned in the days of manual typewriters and having to tab or space to centre a heading etc. Some habits are hard to break, but often it's just not knowing you can do it any other way.

@Mededitor And Ctrl+End takes you to the end :-) You're welcome!

@kirstyt I could not love this MORE! Only seems to be an issue in places like the US.

@mikepope If only I'd had that when doing calculus for the first time at uni!

@ebrenner Recovering, but can now sit at the computer for short periods. Laparoscopic surgery, but aftermath still painful. Can't drive, can't lift things, can't cook or clean :-) Drugs have abated and I have my taste and brain back. Bonus: $0 because we have universal health care

Missing my #edibuddies at #ACESEvolve but SOOO glad I decided months ago not to attend. Why? Emergency appendectomy on Sat after an ambulance trip to hospital Fri night. Super grateful I wasn't on flights from Australia to Ohio for the conf, OR in the US at the time. #NotAtACES

[Rhonda Bracey (@[email protected]) @cybertext]

Sounds about right!

[Rhonda Bracey (@[email protected]) @cybertext]

@ellispratt LOVE that show! Such talent - looking forward to ep4

[Rhonda Bracey (@[email protected]) @cybertext]

@wisekaren Will miss you this year... maybe next year?
