A few books that that were being thrown away by my local university's computing department a few years back.

Or: How old am I, really? I’m seeing this a lot of late, and it bugs me. It bugs me enough that I got out my trusty Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, and looked up “decades” and “centuries” (sections 9.34 and 9.35, for those playing along at home) to see whether I’m totally nuts. I’m not. At least not on this particular matter. Setting aside the question of words versus numerals, which is…

TIL that the 18th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style now accepts singular they IN ALL FORMAL WRITING!!!!!!

IN ALL FORMAL WRITING!!!!!!!

Did ya’ll know I’m a professional editor? Got a certificate from UC for it and my own hard copy of the CMOS 17th Edition and everything. And I was thinking, “Hey, it could be fun to keep in practice with random people on tumblr!” SO:

Send me Asks with any editing questions, and I’ll give you my best answer! (I will speak as plainly as I can, as 1) not everyone understands the technical terms of professional editing, and 2) I don’t always understand the technical terms of professional editing. I know how to DO it, though!)

Send me an Ask with a sentence or paragraph (of reasonable length) you would like edited! If you aren’t comfortable with me editing your work on my public blog, make sure to request a private reply. (Please also keep in mind that this is a strictly PG blog and I won’t post anything I’m not comfortable with.)

The Ask Box and Anons are currently open! Let’s see if I get any takers! :D

(Please Note: If I get a lot of submissions and/or don’t get to yours, it is not personal!)
