@clhubes @SQH1066 To be fair in Australia we have official ‘preschool’ from about 3yo onwards and anything before then is private daycare so maybe this is an in good faith question? I assume it’s different in the US?

Very excited to start working with a new client in a very different field than I am used to. Although sometimes daunting, learning about new topics is one of the best bits of the job.

@frindley @JohnLovesJulie @GrammarTable Agreed, commonly used in Australia (and my household!).

When using search & destroy (F&R) to delete all "et al" from your document, beware of instances of "early-onse̶t̶ ̶A̶l̶zheimer’s."

Everyone has trouble remembering the meaning (or the correct spelling) of certain words from time to time. Our editors are no different in this regard; here are some of the ones they find most vexatious.

Working with a dream client at the moment in healthcare. So great to do work I am passionate about - making important and innovative health data accessible, approachable and empowering.

An interesting read!

okay so a neat thing about QUENCH is that it's an extant causative form of a word that no longer exists in English!

If this makes you want to go lie down, contact Sarah to do the heavy lifting for you!

It's not talked about nearly enough.

A good editor is worth their weight in gold.

If you don't hire one on your own, I highly recommend giving preference to projects where you can work with an experienced editor.

One of the best ways to improve your writing.
