Words are powerful, and the words we use affect others. As a modern editor, it’s our responsibility to stay educated on current language trends—not only to best assist our clients, but also when advertising our business and for use in our everyday lives.

In this episode, we’ll talk about the following:

  • 03:25 – Three words that set unrealistic expectations in the editing industry
  • 06:39 – Why I don’t believe in the phrase “Charge what you’re worth”
  • 08:27 – My alternative to using the very harmful grammar N*zi (among other words and phrases that are not just problematic but hurtful to others)
