  1. Word's spellcheck suggests "flamer" for "flaneur". Kinda sorta close, I guess. And "antistatic" for "fantasmatic" -- a bit too prosaic.
  2. Too busy to tweet: packing up to move, editing, taking Western Civ, home with sick kid, laundry....a multifarious and manifold life!
  3. Just finished a picnic lunch on the grass with my kids. Back to work! How awesome is freelance #editing ?
  4. RT @neilhimself Academic freedom to show what you're discussing seems pretty important to me. A complete #yalefail http://bit.ly/ILknE
  5. #editors #proofreaders #indexers -- great classes, networking, and job opportunities at Editorial Freelancers Association http://the-efa.org
  6. @PapaBradstein No hating, just rejoicing!
  7. @PapaBradstein Oh yes, we did. And being blinded by science is no excuse!
  8. #editing gender roles hidden in telegraphic code: "Editress: It will be necessary to apply elsewhere." http://tinyurl.com/ldyau2
  9. Finding a house to buy is hard work... What's most important? How much to spend? What can you compromise on? What if...? Sigh.
  10. NY Times today skipped a perfect chance to mention the Matrix: http://tinyurl.com/lfepdd.
  11. @Scorch_Mom I love questions like that...I guess I like the challenge!
  12. #editing resources I can't do without, no. 2: Merriam Webster Unabridged online, http://unabridged.merriam-w....
  13. #editing resources I can't do without, no.1: CMOS online, http://www.chicagomanualofs....
  14. My mind is filled with French words today: arrondissement, sans-culottes, travailleurs. Delicious. Love my freelance #editing work!
  15. Reason no. 3498 to love #editing: revealing gaps in my education. My B.A. was sorely lacking in French history, evidently.
  16. @Scorch_Mom You neighborhood misfit! :-)
  17. Working, prepping for school (both my kids, and I'm taking History 101!), trying to buy a house, and I might have an ear infection. Sigh.
  18. @Scorch_Mom It's hard when you don't get comments, eh?
  19. @KOKEdit NIH acknowledges the power of Wikipedia! Most entries on "serious" topics are pretty stable, anyway. Trolls hit pop culture stuff.
  20. @KOKEdit Seems like a big imbalance of power that Amazon can delete material over their wireless network. More reason to dislike DRM.
