  • Educational and wonderful to listen to

    Hands down the best editing podcast I’ve followed—I can’t get enough. In fact, I haven’t enjoyed listening to any show as much since NPR’s “Car Talk.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS): In conversation with Russell Harper
Q: So with language preferences often in flux, do you ever reverse decisions that you've made for previous editions?
Outright reversals are rare; instead, adjustments are made by observing usage trends reflected in dictionaries and other sources.
The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS): In conversation with Russell Harper
Q: Can you give us a bit of an idea of what's involved in developing a revised edition such as CMOS 18?
The process involves reaching out to outside advisors for feedback, writing a detailed proposal for changes, and going through multiple drafts and reviews before finalizing the edition.
