Confessions d’un copain du congrès (coordonnatrice)

May 9, 2017 by Sue Archer | Leave a Comment

Je me souviens de ma toute première inscription au congrès de Réviseurs Canada, en 2014. À ce moment, je n’avais jamais porté le titre de « réviseur », mais, après plusieurs années à jongler avec les mots dans le cadre de divers postes, j’ai réalisé que c’était là ce que je faisais réellement depuis tout ce temps. J’étais […]

Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

May 9, 2017 by Sue Archer | 2 Comments on Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

August 16, 2016 by Sue Archer | 18 Comments on Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

Lately, I find myself wishing I’d picked a profession where I didn’t need to look at computer screens. Or read a lot. Or use my eyes at all, really. (Being a taste tester at a chocolate factory sounds like an attractive career change right about now.) My distance vision has always been terrible, but now […]

“Hello, Ms. Client? I’m Sue Archer from Customer Relations, and I’m calling to follow up with you about your complaint.” I’ve performed a number of difficult jobs in my life, but by far the most challenging one was a call centre role where I dealt solely with complaints.

Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

September 22, 2015 by Sue Archer | 4 Comments on Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

I’m sure all of us, as editors, have encountered heated discussions about the notion of “correct” English. It’s an inescapable occupational hazard. With the prescriptivists in one corner and the descriptivists in the other, the debate continually rages on. I was curious to know if Geoffrey Marnell would bring anything new to the discussion with […]
