究竟校對和審稿的分別是甚麼？編修工作的次序是「先審稿、後校對」。審稿工作務求達到的目標是做到內容清晰、文脈連貫，好讓日後安排的排版、校對及印刷工作得以順利進行。
審稿是甚麼？
Kiev 還是 Kyiv？
使用合適語言非常重要，在危機時期更是如此。通過了解「Kiev」和「Kyiv」的背景和區別，我們可以利用自身的語言能力，聲援烏克蘭並對其人民的語言和身份表示尊重。我深信，這是表達支持和貢獻的眾多方式之一。
Kiev or Kyiv?
Language matters—even more at times of crisis. By understanding the background and the difference between Kiev and Kyiv, we can make use of our linguistic capacity to express solidarity with the people of Ukraine and show respect for their language and identity, which, I believe, is one of the many ways to support and contribute.
Merry Christmas 還是 Happy Holidays？
當我們對他人的信仰（如果有的話）沒有足夠了解或者不清楚他們在十二月慶祝甚麼節日時，使用一個更廣泛的字句會比任意猜度或作沒根據的假設理想得多。
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?
When we don’t know enough about someone’s belief, or indeed, what they celebrate, it would be preferable to use a broader, more inclusive term rather than taking a guess or making assumptions that may potentially make others feel uncomfortable. No one wants to offend anyone, not least at this time of year!
Challenging Unconscious Gender Bias
Gendered language that is rooted in our everyday life may be a sensitive subject to deal with, but if we start today by looking for inclusive alternatives when we speak and write, or even when we are working with our clients or teaching our students, I trust we can contribute to changing attitudes for the better.
Future 還是 The Future？
「Future (將來／未來)」既是形容詞，又是名詞。今次《「語」您講》講究竟「future」會否及何時需要用到冠詞 (article)。
Future or The Future?
“Future” can be used as an adjective or a noun. In this Ed’s Elevenses blog post, let’s look at some examples and find out whether or not “future” takes any article, and if so, when.
Editorial Perfection – Yea or Nay?
“Are you going to make my work perfect?” is a question or rather a desire often expressed by clients. In this Ed’s Elevenses blog post, I am going to be full and frank about whether or not editorial perfection is a realistic expectation and an achievable mission. I hope clients, authors, and language users alike will benefit from understanding the pragmatic considerations underlying editorial work, and join us in contributing to a healthier editor–client relationship.
