Wow, I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one stumped by that! ‘Course, the capper is, after all the aggravation of finally finding out how to submit – I didn’t get in! Sheesh!

Thanks for stopping by, Russell. Yes, it’s something all of us struggle with. I learned quite a lesson when I was teaching a writing course once, which included a section on jargon. I had kept referring to “copy” – until one of my participants asked me what I meant by this strange word “copy”. I’m embarrassed to say that I had assumed a level of knowledge by using writers’ jargon – “writing” or “text” would have been the more inclusive word to use!

I have a degree of difficulty with this in some of my own stuff. I assume a certain degree of knowledge on the basis that those interested will have some … but someone said to me yesterday that further simplification would perhaps be more inclusive (is “inclusive” one of your banned words (lol)? How near to first principles … ?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Mike! I hope blogging about you doesn’t go against me in my submission!
