Grammar Series: Punctuation, Period!

This workshop is for translators who are looking to brush up their grammar skills, and useful for those who are preparing for the CTTIC translation exam.

About the Workshop:

In this workshop, we’ll cover the top punctuation pitfalls and predicaments facing translators, writers and editors. After a brief look at past and present trends, we’ll demystify the comma; dip into semicolons, colons and hyphens; and discuss when to stick to the rules and when (judiciously) to bend them. Test yourself with a warm-up exercise (provided in advance) and get ready to immerse yourself in marks.

About the Instructor:

Frances Peck, BA, MA, is a writer and Certified Professional Editor (Hon.) who works on material ranging from manuals and websites to technical documents and reports.

She has taught at the University of Ottawa, Simon Fraser University and Douglas College, and gives editing and writing workshops across Canada. Frances prepared the Canadian edition of The St. Martin's Workbook, co-authored the HyperGrammar website and wrote Peck's English Pointers, an e-book published by Canada's Translation Bureau.
