« Away from my desk . . . | Main | Getting Freelance Work: The Essentials »
This video from Stephen Fry isn’t new, but I somehow missed seeing it, and I’m guessing many of you might have as well. It expresses everything I believe about how editors might best respond to grammar and usage “out in the world” when it departs from the norms we follow in formal contexts. I could never say it as well as Fry does, so I’ll let him guest-post here today.
Watch it all the way through; it gets better and better.

I love Stephen Fry and this blog!I'm an editorial intern for Hawk & Handsaw: The Journal of Creative Sustainability. I have been exploring the world of editing as a possible career path and your blog has been a great resource. I link to it on my blog because I hope someone who visits will use it as a resource, too.
