people so i argued with her but what if she d written an article and hired me to edit it what if her article began exactly as above what would i do my first edit would complain that ventilators kill people is stated like fact while since it s not common knowledge and it s not yet supported by facts it can only be opinion i d suggest she change it to read i think ventilators kill people then if the article contains an argument to prove her statement she could end with so ventilators kill people as her conclusion next i would complain about the 70 statement arguing that writers should not deliberately mislead their readers looking for minimal edits i d suggest 70 of victims put on ventilators die or 70 of people put on ventilators still die share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps read more the importance of commas march 12 2020 i saw a blogpost entitled can a comma be antisemitic so of course i had to read it you can find the original post at https weekly israelbiblecenter com can a comma be antisemitic and it s fascinating the question is what s the difference between the jews who persecuted the lord drove us out and the jews who persecuted the lord drove us out or equivalently what s the difference between we have to throw out apples which are wormy and we have to throw out apples which are wormy the article explains how the comma makes all the difference between a restrictive and a nonrestrictive clause in the first apple case all apples are wormy and must be thrown out in the second we restrict ourselves to discarding wormy apples a much more sensible idea and in 1 thessalonians 2 14 15 those commas really might be misplaced in the bible commas matter in writing commas matter share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps read more gnarly thoughts march 12 2020 gnarly now there s a word that struck me as singularly modern or lewis carroll ish of course i m english maybe it s not modern in american and maybe there s a way to find out type a serious word into google s search bar and you ll probably find a link to wikipedia high on the list of results it s a great link and a great resource for serious words but a word like gnarly type a word like gnarly or awesome into google s search bar and the dictionary answer comes first with an arrow at the bottom of the box and a label next to the arrow translations word origin and more definitions click on the arrow and you ll find a neat little graph i m a mathematician graphs are cool showing word usage over time and there you ll learn that in the early 1900s gnarly was not at all uncommon whereas in the 1960s it had fallen out of favor and now it s useful information for an editor and for a writer how c share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps read more the joys of word or the joy of words march 11 2020 when word red underlines things like we ll they d hadn t etc you might be excused for thinking the program s gone crazy and you might be right the problem if you happen to be running spellcheck or even trying to read without distraction is to figure out which particular kind of crazy after all those red underlines do kind of draw the eye distracting from the joy of the author s words so what s an editor to do as usual the first answer is to try google then try asking the same question 300 different ways and finally fix it which means i ve now learned how to tell word that certain words are not english and that others are and how to make word make all the wrongly flagged danish dutch french german italian portuguese spanish and swedish words revert to english us or even english uk or english australian if desired so here s how it s done open your document go to one of those wrongly flagged words and rig share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps read more what s in a title february 15 2020 the headline read pope says no to married priests it grabbed my attention in part because my brother is a celibate priest and in part because a friend s son in law is in fact a married priest so what would the article have to tell me nothing at all about married priests if seemed it described how the pope had addressed various items brought up in a letter to him how he supported environmental issues and wanted groups to move forward etc but it said he didn t address the suggestion that allowing married priests might be a good idea in that particular situation so maybe he sort of said no by default maybe and i felt cheated i should have known better headlines are clickbait for readers click more and the owner of the site earns more so who cares the article matches the headline s attraction book titles might look like clickbait too we want the reader to pick up the book or click on amazon s look

planet so what went wrong nobody knows we proofread the letter and the envelope we added the right postage albeit in a rather strange printed stamp because the post office ran out of forever international stamps we posted it only a few days later than we should have but six weeks and sometimes no matter how carefully you or your editor edits how well you or your editor proofreads and how perfectly you or your editor make sure you ve obeyed all the rules some little errors slip by the advantage of print on demand is you can fix them before too many people see them if you have friends willing to point things out and a sweet deal where new uploads of files to your print or ebook service are free that s a really big advantage if you have to pay for uploads maybe less so if you have to pay for changes you ll probably want to balance perfec share get link facebook x pinterest email other apps read more if i d only put an x instead of one january 11 2020 it was an old song sung on an old scratchy record and i loved it the protagonist in the musical tale had won some kind of lottery and wished he hadn t at least that s how i remember it so now he lamented if i d only put an x instead of one maybe it was the tune maybe it was the fact that the song really did tell a story or the singer s voice or knowing i could only hear it if mum and dad would put the record on for me we
