@bossproofreader I'd have thought it meant something along the lines of 'by learning about the importance of charity at home, with your family, you'll be better able to practise charity outside the home too'.

Lovely feedback on a politics copyedit this morning. 'Your hard work is evident throughout the manuscript. The author's tone remains unchanged, and your suggestions have been appropriate and valuable.' Puts a spring in my step! #copyediting #FridayFeeling
@davidyontz Thank you so much! That's so kind of you!
(2/2) This year I started recording myself singing and playing guitar just for fun. Songs from my childhood, songs that I love. I thought I'd share them in case they bring anyone a moment of memory, reflection, peace. Here's one I did this week. soundcloud.com/sally-evans-da…
@cindy_reeh I don't! Would you recommend?

@JamesMFraleigh Hey thanks so much! 🙌
I have worked freelance copyediting and proofreading for Oxford University Press for over 10 years, and today I completed my 200th book - that boggles my mind a bit! They are an utter pleasure to work with. #freelance #milestones #oup #Oxford #copyediting
@JonathanBoff Jonathan, how kind and lovely of you, why thank you so very much! This brought a big smile to my face - thank you. I hope all is well with you!
Celebrating my 10-year-freelance anniversary today 🥳In October 2012 I quit my job to start my own copyediting business but had no idea how long it would last. I'm so very lucky that the last decade has been so good to me. #freelance #copyediting #dreamcometrue
'The prime minister is clear that...' Is there a more annoying phrase? Implies there's never been any confusion, everything has been clear all along, and if you aren't feeling clear about it too, well, what's wrong with you?
@JazzJournal I agree - a dash would work just as well as a semicolon.
Curiosity prompts me to ask: in a sentence such as 'The snow fell quickly, that is, it fell more quickly than before', how many of you would change the comma after 'quickly' to a semicolon?
Exciting day for us members of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders... today it becomes the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading! My own membership now numbers 8 years - looking forward to many more with the CIEP :D @The_CIEP #newbeginnings
@KrystinaMierins Personally I think 'critique' is fine to leave in the singular here as it's used in the sense of a mass noun, 'a body of critique', rather than individual bits of critique. Especially if the author feels strongly about it.
Today found copies of two of the books my grandparents wrote in Lancaster University Library - cool to see 'Oak' is stickered as a popular loan too! #forestry #LancasterUniversity
@marcellocarlin Unusual choice isn't it? You'd never see Billie going about such menial tasks... Something Freudian indeed!
Fancy hearing Ella Fitzgerald sing 'You're Driving Me Crazy' in German? I did! Oh, and there's that blinder performance of Mack The Knife on this CD, too. Shame about the typos and odd choice of cover showing Ella carrying her groceries. jazzjournal.co.uk/2019/08/15/ell…
