I'm a freelance copy-editor/proofreader from Ireland; I also write a bit. My background is in biology, which straddles two of my main interests: language and nature. I walk/hike a lot and always have a book or two on the go
I write mostly about #language: usage, grammar, slang, etymology, etc. I try to keep my blog half-alive with posts on Irish English dialect, random #linguistics stuff, and book spine poems: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/ [1/2]
My website has links to my #writing at Macmillan Dictionary, the Guardian, History Today, Irish Times, Slate, Mental Floss, and others: https://stancarey.com/writing/
I'll be sparing with the self-promotion after this, but I want to mention Strong Language @stronglang, a group blog (that I co-founded) on the culture and #linguistics of #swearing. New entries are sporadic, but the archives are full of profane delights: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/ #introduction #introductions [2/2]
@stancarey Welcome. :) I'm a writer (amongst other things) from South Africa, and travelling to Ireland for a holiday at the end of this month. Can't believe it's so soon! :)
@WalnutShadow Safe travels and enjoy the adventure =)
