Physician, explain thyself: science English vs lay English | Stroppy Editor
https://stroppyeditor.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/physician-explain-thyself-science-english-vs-lay-english
Minding other people’s language. A lot. Physician, explain thyself: science English vs lay English. Doctors and scientists may be brilliant in their fields but some may not be great at communicating their knowledge to the rest of us. This is obviously important when doctors are explaining things to their patients, as it is when research scientists are seeking to engage the public with their work. To succeed, the experts need to tailor their language to a lay audience. Specialist terms are great among spe...
What’s wrong with the passive voice? | Stroppy Editor
https://stroppyeditor.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/whats-wrong-with-the-passive-voice
Minding other people’s language. A lot. What’s wrong with the passive voice? Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, has joined. The Campaign Against the Passive Voice. He follows in the footsteps of Strunk and White (whose section on the passive voice, while more nuanced than many people recognise, is calamitously misleading) and of George Orwell (who complained about the passive while using it extensively himself, even in the same sentence as his complaint). Sat on the mat. Was sat on by the cat. The by...
What the internet desperately needs is another blog post about the Oxford comma | Stroppy Editor

Minding other people’s language. A lot. What the internet desperately needs is another blog post about the Oxford comma. The Oxford comma also known as the Harvard comma, the serial comma, and the what the hell is wrong with you people why can’t you just get a life provokes strong opinions. It’s the difference between these two sentences:. 1a) I ordered bacon, eggs and beans. 1b) I ordered bacon, eggs, and beans. The Oxford comma is the last one, before the and in version 1b.

What style of language do scientists really prefer? | Stroppy Editor
https://stroppyeditor.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/what-style-of-language-do-scientists-really-prefer
Minding other people’s language. A lot. What style of language do scientists really prefer? Our readers are intelligent, well-educated scientists. Why should we make our language dumbed-down, patronising and imprecise in the name of ‘readability’? It’s a fair question. Here’s the answer. Einstein may or may not have said, Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. Either way, it’s good writing advice. But we don’t all follow it. Many people, when writing in a work context, feel that...
The very model of an amateur grammarian | Stroppy Editor
https://stroppyeditor.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/the-very-model-of-an-amateur-grammarian
Minding other people’s language. A lot. The very model of an amateur grammarian. With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan. I am the very model of an amateur grammarian. I have a little knowledge and I am authoritarian. But I make no apology for being doctrinarian. We must not plummet to the verbal depths of the barbarian. I’d sooner break my heart in two than sunder an infinitive. And I’d disown my closest family within a minute if. They dared to place a preposition at a sentence terminus. Who shuns the mo...

Mother’s Day memories of Mimi’s Island. Asymp; Leave a comment. I’ve been blessed with some pretty terrific relatives. (And a few that are not so terrific, but I digress.) High on my list of super-grandmothers is my Dad’s mother, Susan Raifsnyder Shirey. Her grandchildren called her. But, as she got older, I like to think her 27 grandchildren kept her young. She had a vivid imagination and a wealth of knowledge. Did you want to know about the flowers growing in her garden? Happy Mother’s Day, Mimi! Hound...

You Don't Say: O brave new world, that has such pixels in it
http://johnemcintyre.blogspot.com/2014/07/o-brave-new-world-that-has-such-pixels.html
Friday, July 18, 2014. O brave new world, that has such pixels in it. The Internet is not as smart as it thinks it is. I know that we all crouch under the all-seeing eye of Mordor, our surfing and shopping monitored by our government, our email and search engine providers, the merchants with whom we shop. But if you look closely, you see slippage in the surveillance. The servers to which The Sun. Is connected are not in Baltimore, so when I go online at work, Google assumes that I am in Chicago.

O sonzinho dessa semana é o clipe novo da linda da Lea Michele. A música On my way é o segundo single do primeiro álbum da cantora, lançado agora em março de 2014. Ela está linda e super sexy neste novo clipe e adorei mais ainda porque têm referências lindas de joias/bijus. E eu gosto de trabalhar com metas, e uma das minhas metas para o blog era atingir 1000 visualizações, e hoje já chegamos a 1120 visualizações! Estou muito feliz, pois são estas metas que mostram que aos poucos estou caminhando! Digite...

O espelho de Gandhi. Perguntaram a Mahatma Gandhi quais seriam os fatores que destroem os seres humanos. E ele respondeu:- a política, sem princípios;- o prazer, sem compromisso;- a riqueza, sem trabalho;- a sabedoria, sem caráter;- os negócios, sem moral;- a ciência, sem humanidade;- a oração, sem caridade.

Stroppy Editor | Minding other people’s language. A lot.
Minding other people’s language. A lot. We need to talk about drug-resistant infections. Do you know what antimicrobial resistance is? Most people don’t. That’s one of the findings. From a series of focus groups and interviews commissioned by the Wellcome Trust (where I work). So, based on that, what’s antimicrobial resistance? It sounds logical. It’s also dangerously wrong. Scientists and health policy makers use antimicrobial resistance to mean that the. Develop a resistance to the drugs. A better term...
