Conference time! Looking forward to the upcoming Canadian #indexers conference. Any others here going?

@ReadingFaithfully_org cross references should be complete, so you should point to both places or at least to the preferred term. Make sure double postings are complete and comprehensive as appropriate, as well.

@ReadingFaithfully_org These look fine to me. The "as" provides natural language linking and flow, which readers and users appreciate. Repetition isn't necessarily bad, at all.

@ReadingFaithfully_org sorry I didn't see this sooner! Do you still need assistance? Happy to support.

The Indexing Task Force, an independent nonpartisan group of professional indexers, has developed an #index to help people see what Project 2025 contains: indexersguidetoproject2025.com indexersguidetoProject2025 -- thank you, #indexers! #indexodon @indexodon

There were three men came out of the West
Three kings both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon must die.

They took a tank and ran him down
With bullets in his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But when the Spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And did surprise them all...

@Rudydoesbooks @h_d_hudson I would add that not only "may" they be inverted, they should be inverted. How will your readers likely look them up? If the readers are multilingual, then the articles they are familiar with should be ignored when sorting. In other words, it depends. #indexing

Psst! Plans are coming together for another exciting line up of indexing speakers and activities for @IndexersCanada annual conference.

I've confirmed 10 out of 11 speakers and I'm busting to share details but will wait until the new year to announce the full program.

This time we are in St. John's Newfoundland June 9-10th, 2023 indexers.ca/isc-sci-conference

This conference will be in person only and next year's conference will be online.

@bookstodon #indexodon I just finished reading Judith Flanders' A Cast of Vultures, and it's a delightfully fun must-read for #indexers and #editors alike. Here's a favorite but: "Editors know a little bit about a lot of arcane areas. 'I did a book on that once,' was the standard phrase for being able to name the seven hills of Rome, or knowing that bees have a positive electric charge and flowers a negative one. So I was happy to learn more". :blobcool:
