Nice review of the process, particularly if you're writing #nonfiction or tech.

Knowing (some) British slang, I was thrown by this headline. In the UK "cod" (adjective) also means "fake," but they're talking about fish here. #copyediting

Headlines to be interpreted

From ’The Times’ (no I haven’t bothered reading it) and it begs many questions. Including
- why does the head of the Polis think he/she can make the moon disappear?
- is it accomplished by closing the curtains or a wee bit more sophisticated?
- is the threat to make the moon disapear a negotiating tactic?

The mind boggles. Oh well better have another coffee before we go out for the morning run.

Obviously I knew about the hatchet job Musk and co. did on USAID when Trump came to power - but I looked up the name of the organisation today (for #copyediting purposes) and it was really disconcerting to just find... this. www.usaid.gov That's it - nothing, since February last year. 😢 #AmEditing

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

Any of you out there who need academic proofreading and/or copy editing in the language of English, give me a shout. Need some work....

I am based in Sweden, but obviously online :D

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

Weirdly, on pg 182 he goes back and forth between calling his dad’s mistress Tamara and Tereh. One must be a real name and one fake and he just missed a couple replacements. He did something similar in the first edition of Fast Times, where he left in “Clairemont High” at least once. #copyediting

Never seen this unusual use of the word "across" to mean "au courant with" or "aware of." Or course it could just be a typo. #copyediting

This reference to a "happy ending" in the NYT: I'm guessing many of their square readers won't know what this is, and it seems like the kind of thing the Times would usually explain, pedantically. But there's no way to explain this without getting explicit, so they just leave it there. #copyediting
