Thank you, Elizabeth!! Thought it’d be a fun idea. 😁

The many uses of en and em dashes—and hyphens—all vary by style guide (so much nuance, haha). Semicolons are great! And you're right—once you learn their particulars, they're great fun to use.

Yes to all of this! I've had the privilege of working with so many wonderful clients who've recognized the value we bring in choosing to work with us, and I'm forever grateful to them.

We’re here to help, and it’s against our mandate to introduce errors or change your unique voice. It’s YOUR writing, and professional editors will always respect that.

Have a great week! 😄

It was very disparaging to hear because I can only assume they must have had a really unfortunate experience to generalize all copy editors as people to push back against.

Nice, Katharine! Em dashes are my close second favorite to the ampersand, and my third is the semi-colon. 😄

big emotion things like life decisions! I guess take each word to the wise as it applies?

Have a great week, all! ✨
