As she writes:\nWith a degree in Modern Languages fo llowed by a post-graduate diploma in translating\, I always had it in me t o be a linguistic nitpicker. Indeed\, one of my tasks during my first job at a bank\, back in the pre-computer era of the mid-1980s\, was comparing two original loan agreements to check they were identical (no printing of copies back in those days\, when a mistake sometimes meant retyping the wh ole document). Strangely enough\, no-one else ever volunteered for that wo rk. \nLuckily\, some things have changed since then (and not only no longe r having to wait for correction fluid to dry!). One of the major changes h as been the huge increase in the numbers of non-native speakers writing in English\, not always entirely voluntarily. This\, and the pressure on tod ay’s academics to ‘publish or perish’\, means my business is now split mor e or less equally between translating and editing\, mainly for universitie s. But although many things have changed over the years\, some of what goe s to make a good editor is just the same. \nEditing is still one of the le ss clearly defined language professions. So\, what does being a good edito r mean? The topics we’ll be discussing will include:\nEstablishing ground rules (purpose\; light or heavy editing\; how much budget is available\; h ow to price your services\; other restrictions applying)\;\nGetting a bala nce between: \nWillingness to keep on going and knowing when to stop\nResp ecting the author’s voice and knowing when being a ‘pleaser’ is not what’s called for\nFinding the right resources\nWhat to do if you really can’t w ork out what the author means?\nAnd then see how you would improve some te xts I’ve been asked to edit.\n   Tempted? Do come. All are welcome\, but… there’s only space for 12 people. Click register above if you’re planning to come\, by end Wednesday 13 November at the latest. \nWine & modest nibb les will be (of course) served. The exact address is Minervalaan 42/2\, 10 77PB Amsterdam. Unless the weather is foul\, or walking isn’t your thing\, the simplest (if you’re coming from Amsterdam Zuid railway station) is to walk up straight up the Minervalaan into town towards the Hilton Hotel an d it’s on your left after about 15 minutes. https://www.sense-online.nl/ev ents/calendar/event/209-finlegsig-meeting DTSTART:20191114T180000Z DTEND:20191114T203000Z LOCATION:John Alexander's home\, near Amsterdam-Zuid railway station () SUMMARY:FINLEGSIG meeting URL:https://www.sense-online.nl/events/calendar/event/209-finlegsig-meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20261025T030222CET-8134sjkRnD@https://www.sense-online.nl/ DTSTAMP:20261025T020222Z DESCRIPTION:Of je nu in het land woont waar je moedertaal wordt gesproken o f in een ander land\, we hebben allemaal te maken met het feit dat taal in de loop van de tijd verandert.
