When you read someone's work, it's a glimpse into their soul, and how beautiful is that?
Scared to reach out and ask about the editing process? DM me! I'm very chatty and not scary at all.

Never seen the word "moreish" before. Seems chiefly or exclusively British and maybe Australian. It's in my paper copy of the Concise Oxford, so it's not new. Meaning: "something (usually food) that's so good it makes you want more." Etymologically pretty questionable IMO. #copyediting
birography --> biography
Speaking of reviewing a ms. before turning it in—I always reread the footnotes/endnotes. There is so much to check in each citation that I need two passes to catch everything.

This was in one of my notes, which is why I always read through my comments again before turning in a manuscript.

I didn't even know 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 was a word, but apparently spellcheck did. 😅

Do editors and proofreaders check facts?
The answer might look a bit familiar: ‘it depends’. Here are my thoughts anyway ...

Google Ngram results that show "manwhore" as one word is more popular than "man whore" with a space.

That one usually goes the other way around, but either way, spellcheck didn't catch it. 😉

Wiki just shut down AI‑written articles, but still lets bots help with copy‑editing and translations. What does this mean for LLMs and content moderation? Dive into the policy shift now. #WikipediaAI #CopyEditing #ContentModeration

Word I would like to nuke from orbit today: "key."
They're performance indicators. They're personnel. The fact that you're talking about them gives away that they're important.
(No, I don't actually edit out the K from KPI. But I would like to.)

One of the things that I love most about editing is, ultimately, the collaboration I get to experience when working with authors. I'm not driving, I'm a passenger with a map and a suggestion of a route to take. Where you go is up to you!

I saw the term "royal plural" long before I saw "royal 'we.'" "Royal plural" makes more sense because it also includes the word "our"—it's not just the word "we." (For example, "Our bath is almost ready.") But you never see "royal plural," and that bugs me. #copyediting
Never seen this word before.
Have you?
