  6. I have made a translation of a Venetian letter from 1576, written during one of the worst plague epidemics ever to hit Venice, and I'm looking for proof-readers of the English text.

    The letter is a first-hand eyewitness account of a very severe plague epidemic in Venice, written by a person in the middle of the storm. It describes how the plague arrived, how the state and the population reacted, and what was done to counter the epidemic.

  21. Words¹ misspelled² so often, even in edited text, that my copy-editor's heart does a little happy dance when I see them spelled appropriately:

    ad nauseam, complement, its, just deserts, led, minuscule, principle, supersede

    ¹ In a broad sense, to include phrases.
    ² The descriptivist in me protests the implicit judgement, but "spelled in a nonstandardized way" is on the wordy side for a throwaway Mastodon post.

  27. Editing catch of the day:

    A reference to Chico in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is now a reference to Chico in "A Fistful of Dollars". A good reminder of the always-look-it-up principle
