The verb ‘table’ has contradictory meanings in UK English and US English. In UK English, ‘to table’ means ‘to formally present an item’, while in US English it means ‘to postpone consideration of an item’. (1/2) #PrepressTip

Last Wednesday our MD Lucy Harrier attended @The_IoD Fife and Tayside's ‘Turning Culture into Delivery’ event held at Abertay University. This was a great opportunity to reflect on the nature of authentic leadership and its role in shaping the workplace. (1/2) #PrepressPeople

'Compliment' and 'complement' are easy to confuse. But 'compliment' means to praise or words of praise, while 'complement' means to add an improvement to or such an added improvement. (1/2) #PrepressTip

Is it ‘hone in’ or ‘home in’? Technically it’s the latter, but ‘hone in’ is so commonly used that it is now widely accepted. If you’re editing a formal text, however, favour ‘home in’. #PrepressTip

Round brackets, often referred to as parentheses, add extra information, while square brackets are often used to indicate where words have been added or removed in a quotation, either for clarity or expedience (e.g. “He [the dog] was hungry.”). #PrepressTip
