Check out these writing, editing, and communications blogs

I’ve made a few tweaks to this site of late, one of which was redoing the links section in the sidebar. Instead of linking to reference material, I’ve added links to some great communications-related blogs. So check them out and if you like one of the sites, please let that webmaster know how you found his or her blog.

Here are the links that I added today (some of them I have mentioned in previous posts):

• A Capital Idea
• A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing
• Bad Language
• commonspace
• Copyblogger
• Copy-Editing Corner
• Editor Evolved
• Quimera
• The Happy Booker
• Will Kelly
• Written Road

Also, if you have, or know of, a good website that covers writing, editing, grammar, communications, publishing, or any other subject in which this blog’s audience might be interested, please send me an e-mail and I will add it to the list.

I’m not the only writer and editor who takes pictures in public restrooms

Bad grammar is bad grammar, be it in a medical book or a public bathroom.

As he mentioned on his blog Bad Language, Matthew Stibbe thought, “I’m sure they don’t actually want people to put toilet tissue and nothing else down the loo but I did feel like I was breaking the rules when I had a pee” upon seeing this sign above a toilet, er, loo in Starbucks:

I’m just glad, however, that I’m not the only writer and editor willing to take a picture in a public restroom for the sake of documenting bad grammar.
