The second part [of the book] examines the boom in concert halls in China.
AU: "amazing increase in the number of concert halls"? "skyrocketing demand for new concert halls"? My hunch is this pun wasn't intended.

Sorry to comment on your post with something slightly unrelated, but I'm too exhausted to find another way (if any) to contact you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a college student and came across your blog while doing research for a career speech I have to give soon. As you may have guessed, I'm giving the speech on copyediting. It also just so happens that I need to briefly interview someone in the industry so i was thinking...
Any chance you'd like to answer a few questions? You'd make my week, if not my entire semester, if not my entire school experience that may eventually lead to a career in copyediting. That'd be peachy, and I would be forever grateful!
P.S. My captcha was bunscro. It sounds like a kitchen appliance brand name that could be foreign, or could mean absolutely nothing.
Hi, Jessica
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to answer a few questions. E-mail me at missnonymous[at]gmail[dot]com and we'll set something up!
This subconscious punning happens all the time! Sometimes the authors do it on purpose. Some days I find it cute; other days it makes me want to shake someone.
ReplyDeletethey do it punconsciously
