PSA: Never agree to review a friend’s/stranger’s writing unless it is your job. I made that mistake. I may not be a good writer, but (expletive).

🚀 Ah, yes, "The Core of Rust"—where we transform an existential crisis about teaching #Rust into an epic saga of untangling #spaghetti #code with a side of future-proof computers. Spoiler alert: It's not a tutorial, but you might learn something... accidentally. 🤯🔧

Social media as a proof-reading platform.

For nearly 15 years, my draft yarn about my 2010 travels had a fairly obvious error in it.

I was flying from Mazar-i-Sharif to Herat, but when recounting the taxi trip to Mazar's airport, I said: "I can’t believe the airport was connected to Herat only by a dirt road."

Well, that and an aeroplane. But I meant to say "Mazar-i-Sharif" airport, not "Herat".

Proof-reading. It matters! 😳

I'm looking for an english #research text #proofing / language check for a #preprint that i'm proud of but is not published, any pointers ?

Personal sites I can give a pass to, but corporate sites/newsletters must invest in checks by more than the author.

If not you will inevitably get bad grammar, strange phrasing, and illogical statements like the ones in this post I came across today at work.

It simply erodes any faith I may have had in the post and ultimately the organisation. If they spare so little thought and attention to stuff like this, how can I trust what they say or with more important things?

To anyone who sorts out PhD bibliographies, you will feel my joy and pain. I have reached the letter W, and it has taken three days to get here. And I have glimpsed below ... the secret place where the author has dumped all the problem entries, all the absolute bastards that no-one knows how to format. There they are.
Hi!
#proofing #editing #bibliography

Between scanning artefacts (lots) and YoungerMe's curious obsession with semicolons and ellipses, I can apparently only type up one chapter's-worth of proof corrections per day, hey-ho.

Also, my hands hurt.

Hmm - so apparently this book has not been #proofing itself, while I spend my time chasing down #SFF writers & fans on this megafauna site? Hunh.

“To apply #cleantechnologies at equal eye level, it is important to promote and establish #guidelines for the #transfer of #knowledge and #technology between developed and #developingcountries,” says Vanessa Bolivar in our #interview at #proofing future.

Vanessa Bolivar draws her perspectives from her participation at the #UN #global #climate #summit #COP24 in Katowice.
