Over these years I have written about the difference between recollect and re-collect, grateful and thankful, discrete and discreet, different and various, technique and technology, unsatisfied and dissatisfied, and many others. I have explained how to use brackets and parentheses, how to write compound words, and how to use abbreviations. I have shown that ’they’ can refer to one person and clarified the difference between compare to and compare with. I have written about false friends and about English idioms, and I have explained what a backronym is.

After 115 blog entries, I hope that I have been able to help my readers understand English better and avoid making mistakes that could be both embarrassing and disastrous.

In the column on the right, you can find all my blog posts. You can see a list of the latest topics and you can search for a particular word that you would like to know more about.

Let me know if there is a word or an expression that you would like me to write about. And if you are writing your dissertation or a paper for a scientific journal and would like me to copyedit it before submitting, send an email to info@copyeditor.se.

Seven years after the start, this is my first blog entry in 2026. I hope there will be more.
