Editing for plain language is often a humbling exercise. No matter how much we think we’re streamlining the structure and clarifying the language, user testing consistently shows us there’s room for improvement.
New Professional Editorial Standards
We applaud the arrival of the new Professional Editorial Standards from Editors Canada. We also applaud the thoughtful work that went into the update. With the standards now offering more guidance about plain language, conscious language, and other important topics, they continue to set a high bar of excellence for editors in Canada and beyond.
