Great panel on “Meaningful Work: Aligning Your Work with Your Values” today at #ACESEvolve. I especially loved Crystal Shelley’s comment that “diversity is a strength, inclusion is a must, and equity is a right.” Read more about her work here:

Award-winning editor @IvaCheung turns the rules of #PlainLanguage upside down in this final article in her guest series. “These examples show how complex health communication be: different audiences will have different—often conflicting—information needs.” hubs.li/Q01shdnX0

Pro tip! "forgone" means to go without, "foregone" means to go before.
Forgone income (income you don't get for some reason)
A foregone conclusion (a result that can be predicted with certainty, as it it were made before)

So, autistic people are considered “disordered” because we often: say what we mean, have no hidden agenda, focus on one task for a long time, prefer deep connections over shallow ones, are pragmatic, question what we don’t know and like to get straight to the point? OK…!

Since people have shown an interest here is how to add the read-aloud add-on to gdocs and how it works(play video with sound). I am using Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge to access the natural voice set. Chrome might be different. Haven't tried Mac OS. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Ngram curiosity of the day: searching for common misspellings shows that many have a big peak around 1980. I'd guess that the decline coincides with the rise of spellchecking software, but why the distinct increase beforehand?
