Research roundup #6

This week, some additional subjects googled specifically for editing purposes! And some others that weren’t. See if you can tell the difference.

Firstly, let’s start with a list of things I couldn’t remember. Such as the draw-y bit that’s inside a pencil. Or exactly when I should use a hyphen. Whether there’s a notable difference between apartment and flat. And what, exactly, is the point of a nightcap (the hat, not the drink). And on the pure interest front, it turns out jumping spiders can see moons.

On a more serious front, I had a good — well, a low-down search on the human variations in genetics, including learning the difference between genetics and genomics, which I didn’t even know.

I had a far more targeted romp through neighbourhoods in London, for Reasons, which led to some somewhat hilarious name-related results — for someone who doesn’t live in England, at least.

There was also a sidle through some community-related details, though not all of the same community … and maybe using the word ‘community’ loosely.

And, finally, ending on ‘this week’s most hilarious typos’, just for you: ‘Carefully he folds the invoice to put it in his waistboat pocket’. That’s quite a trick, there.
