Dave Mandl<p>People tend to under-use semicolons (because they're not sure where to use them, or they think using them makes them look like pedants), but this use is totally unnecessary and IMO wrong. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Copyediting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Copyediting</span></a></p>

Stan Carey<p>I asked the writer, who said the quote was accurate and that my instincts were right: the child's parents were from Donegal!

Stan Carey<p>Edited a research article that quoted a young child saying, "We be'd kind by listening".</p><p>I was unsure if this was:<br>1. a typo for "We'd be kind by listening"<br>2. variant child speech<br>3. dialect: it reminded me of Donegal Irish "be's"</p><p>If the quote was accurate, and from an adult, I might use "[sic]".

Dave Mandl<p>The word to measure distances in NYC was always "blocks" ("She lives two blocks from here"). In the UK they use "streets" because "blocks" means something else.
