@briankrebs Believe it or not, we did this right through high school with our kids. Actually managed to sit down for dinner quite a few nights per week. I know it “stuck” because as adults with family for holidays, or just dinner at our house, one of them would surprise us and suggest to the group. We call it “one good thing”. And to change it up a little when they were older we instead took turns choosing a word from the dictionary to share. (Thanks! Writing this made me smile). #tradition #words #OneGoodThing

Happy #EarthDay! To celebrate, here’s our video about the Food Web, and how it’s a better model for ecosystems than the food chain. We made it for our friend the @RvingNaturalist’s channel, and she has a lot more videos there about nature and ecology that you should check out! youtu.be/OxKvcA4NpaQ

Beloved Tor editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden once wrote about interviewing candidates for publishing jobs. If they could spell "accommodate," they might make good copy editors.

Decades ago, after fumbling it myself, I asked 30 other experts how to spell the word. All my fellow marketing writers plus managers, editors, tech writers, etc., in the corporate communications office where I worked. Only 1 person — a lowly (but beloved) typist — got it right.
