Stan CareyHere's a strange one:After a friendly exchange with a former client (I'm a freelance copy-editor and proofreader), I visited their website and found that they now also copy-edit and proofread and are *using my writing, from my website, as their own, on their website*.Entire sentences and paragraphs are identical. It's been like this for years.

Dave MandlShocked that The New Yorker, of all publications, would get the that/which distinction wrong (see: restrictive vs. nonrestrictive clauses). The rules for that/which are looser in the UK, so maybe they're being anglophilic? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Copyediting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Copyediting</a>
