IrinaTwo psalms (83 and 101) in the new translation have a sparrow (mus). I had to type them both up for the choirbook, and both times made the sparrow into a mouse (muis). #ChurchChoir #AmProofreading
Paula GordonWhy is it fa-ther, but broth-er and moth-er???
And the latter two cannot break across lines because of Chicago rules (must be at least 3 letters after hyphen). 🎶 An-noy-ing!🎶

Paula Clarke BainHey, fellow freelance editorial peeps. Is #EditorSprint still a thing? Could it be again, once a week maybe?
No phones. No socials. Just focus for one hour. Comment with your goal beforehand, and check back in after to see how it went.
Anyone in?

Ann AguirreThis kinda made my day. I just got proofs back for TOPHIT, and people are already reading the uncorrected ARC. (Which makes me nervous)
But then I saw this:

SUPERNATURAL

People I don't know screaming on the internet about my book?
I love my job. 😀 😍 🤩
Sue McQuayThen there's the email today from an author of a paper in a small denominational heritage society newsletter. A reader of the August 2022 issue pointed out that x church was founded in 1906, not 2006, as the photo caption said. Two proofreaders + me let that one through! #AmEditing #AmProofreading #FactChecking #Errata #Edibuddies
Kath KirkJust recommended one of my favorite accessibility checkers to a client whose color scheme might make their words hard for their users to read. Especially tricky when it's tiny rules text on cards in a game! That this tool has an eyedropper makes me happy. Try it here: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

earthtopus@sporks @brennen @kukkurovaca "...we don't have the phallus that guarantees the satisfaction of all our desires, we only cathect in the phallic signifier, that Everlasting Gobstopper, through which we maintain the fantasy of having the phallus for everlasting satisfaction" #amproofreading
