Just a little bit done with the semester #engl301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU Doing several passes of edits, and focusing on different aspects of your work in them is incredibly helpful. Substantive versus technical, grammar-focused edit rounds, for instance, hone in on different weaknesses in your writing. #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU Things are often better when done together #engl301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU I'd love a little more levity in general, but I also recognize that news has traditionally gravitated toward the biggest, baddest, worst of what goes on in the world. #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU Maybe this ad's appeal is its sheer oddity? There's a weird element of surrealism to it that compounds with the confusion you experience when watching... and it becomes hard to tear your eyes away from the screen. #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU Facebook has landed in some very hot water over the last couple years, and an internal memo released by its vice president Andrew Bosworth reveals that there's probably something deeper within the company culture that's inherently problematic. #ENGL301

@EhrgU loss of nuance? There is a degree of nuance that can be lost in the process of making your language plainer. (Oftentimes, it's a necessary sacrifice to be making, especially in a public communications context) #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU The first paragraph in the linked article just about sums it up: it's all about the context (a given time & place!) of where informal language usage takes place. A college classroom versus a boardroom meeting yield different behavioral expectations! #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU If things do go south with a presentation, reminding yourself of the "bigger picture" beyond an individual task at hand is probably key (and more helpful than the "impending doom" pre-presentation perspective.) And yes — compassion is always a must. #ENGL301

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@EhrgU True. As long as concise lines of boundaries and respect are delineated, conflict is an inevitable feature of interpersonal interactions. It's more realistic to say that conflict must be managed than eliminated, IMHO. #ENGL301

@rwpickard @katekorte @martlet This is going to have to be me 😅 I'll gladly do the advertising (please read my writing!! & that of my friends!)

[Kate Elizabeth Korte @katekorte]

Black Lives Matter is definitely changing UVic. @dorothyadlibs looks into the latest student-led initiative in the faculty of science, where students are working directly with the dean on anti-racism in their department.

Hong Kong was once the poster child for pandemic response. The island's 'third wave' of infection is a warning to the world that #coronavirus will be with us for a long time, by @HelierCheung https://t.co/vBoiM8uwsn via @bbcworld #Covid19 #GlobalHealth

@bamandy funny accurate needs citation leak an example!!

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@Tim_Burgess @AldousGM Say it again!!! Beyond truthful.

[Dorothy Poon @dorothyadlibs]

@germanbradley8 Not to worry! I took a gander at your website and have to say I'm quite impressed. Keep up the artistic vision!

[The Martlet @TheMartlet]
