This blog is no longer dormant! As well as working (slowly) on new articles for this blog—and some for Medium—I’m revising my old articles to ensure their content is still relevant. Each post that I’ve updated with new information includes a “last revised” date at the end.
Some of the links to older blog posts may not work. So, if you’re here because you’ve followed a link from somewhere on the web and the page no longer exists, please use the search function (magnifying glass icon at the right side of the menu) to look up the information you need. Or, send me a message at editor@languageediting.com. Thank you.
