@RabidRabbitoh @BUSINESSricardo Hope she's OK.

Incident at Bondi Junction Westfield. Heard what sounded like gun shots when inside the centre and all ran out. People running along top level of bridge

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 23 Jan 2009 (via @twi_age).

@BBCBreakfast Oh, for goodness sake. Let her answer! I'm a Tory, and I want to hear what they have to say. @AngelaRayner

@Hootsuite_Help Have tried multiple times to reconnect LinkedIn - keep getting an error 500 from your site. What's up? Scheduled activity that I'm now having to do manually.

@copy_tips Interesting. Source?

Psychologists have found that people see rhyming statements as being 22% more accurate than non-rhyming ones.

The Monday Max: The importance of letter-spacing. 'Landlord reaches agreement with ten ants'. 'Don ate your old glasses here'. 'Faculty o farts'. Help your reader by getting the detail right. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-4D737BE553…

The Monday Max: A hyphen makes all the difference. For example: 'A woman eating chicken at a café'. Fair enough. Not 'A woman-eating chicken at a café'. That's scary. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-D3B507F454…

The Monday Max: Watch how your personality influences your writing. If you're a bit chatty, that'll impact your copy. Make you too verbose. If you like process, that can come across as pedantic. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-30E41AB1B1…

The Monday Max: We're all glad to see the end of 2020. But, without minimising the hardships, some good came out of it. As a copywriter, it's good to see 2 sides. Find positive in the negative. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-00EAE7A453…

The Monday Max: Few people will read today's post. It's that time of year. So, why bother? You don't just write a post when it suits you. You make a commitment, and stick to it. That's why. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-CF695A5296…

The Monday Max: I've tallied up my virtual training hours. Since April, I've run: • 8 one-hour sessions • 50 x three-hours • 4 x six-hours • 18 x eight-hours. 326 hours of training. Phew! #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-08913CB333…

@vaughndavis From next morning, to 48 hours.

Anyone know current Covid test turnaround time? Woke sniffly so got a test to see if it’s a cold or a “cold” before starting my own airborne cluster...

The Monday Max: I save letters as I edit. If I want to replace 'November' with 'December', I'll highlight the 'Nov'. And save the 'ember'. Typing 'Dec'. Am I a letter-miser? A letter-recycler? #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-E9081B200E…

Monday Max: Full stops after abbreviations? If the abbreviation ends in the letter the full word does, you don't. 'Mr' for example. Abbreviation ends in 'r'. So does the full word. No full stop. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-44EF2FA522…

Oh, good grief. Now they've named a recipe after me. lnkd.in/gwJgBpJ

Monday Max: So many contenders for the Oxford English Dictionary's Word of the Year, they've made it 'Words'. Pandemic, bushfires, Covid-19, WFH, lockdown. Mute, unmute. Staycation, remotely. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-A986DF2B3A…

Monday Max: On a recent morning walk I noticed three shops re-opening. Perhaps things are starting to change for the better. Is it a new dawn? Light at the end of the tunnel? Let's hope so. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-EE87570663…

Monday Max: As a freelancer, you wear lots of hats. You're the accountant, new biz director, social media manager, IT department and HR support. After 20 years, I wouldn't have it any other way. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-CDD835245D…

Monday Max: A couple of articles from the BBC. One: the combined T&Cs for popular apps are 128,000+ words long. The other: T&Cs for social sites are harder to read than Dickens. Simple is best. #copywriting Sign up: ow.ly/ledx50AUKSk Newsletter: createsend.com/t/j-454EC3524B…
