The one with the quotation is puzzling. The version I submitted got it right, so I can only assume some strange rule about quotation marks was (mis)applied. I only noticed when I looked at the paper again years later.
I added an errata page to my site to collect mistakes in my papers:

Ok, GLAM/cultural heritage & adjacent folks: I'm trying to start up a network for those of us interested in data science, and I'd love your thoughts and feedback on what would help and work for you.
Here's a blog post with some initial goals https://erambler.co.uk/blog/glam-datasci-network-what-i-want/

Last night, a can (of alcohol-free Żywiec) on the balcony froze, and burst with a disturbing bang.

Are you a researcher working with COVID data? I’m running a study about data sharing during pandemics (esp interested in post-first-wave changes) & I’m looking for people who can share info about restrictive data sources and data access challenges.
Pls boost to help reach others!
Interested? Here’s a link to more info about the study & signup: https://covid19-data-sharing-study.github.io
pandoc filter, logic
As it's World Logic Day, I will post my pandoc truth table filter again:

I recently learnt how to do multiple substitutions with a regex in a nice way, which brightened my day:

If any of y'all are UK-based or UK-affiliated, and care about research software, come along to the Softwas Sustainability Insititute's fellowship webinar today at 3PM UK: https://software.ac.uk/fellowship-programme/2021/webinar
As well as hearing others speak, I'll talk a little about some of the benefits (financial, network, collaborators) I've gained as a fellow. Come along to hear more and ask any questions!

I believe that dialectica will move to open access:

I think that I will attend this online workshop on open access publishing in philosophy:

Looking for a Pixelfed instance to join and share more of my photos in 2019. Any recommendations?
Ideally smallish, friendly and encouraging of mediocre photographers! 
looking back on 2020, covid, publishing
I have a plan for next year: I want to study the recent work on reference fixing and the connection between reference and meaning. I have a list of books and papers that I have been collecting for the last year, and it's time to work through it.
looking back on 2020, covid, publishing
I think that my working year is ending today. Looking back:
* Surprisingly, I spent the year in England and Poland, not China
* I managed to write, present, and submit a new paper as well as working on several other projects
* I didn't publish as much as I hoped: one book review; everything else is taking a long time in review, or to be put online/in print
* But, I have four papers under review, two that have been accepted, and one commissioned (unwritten)
Reading
For work: 'Abstract Objects and the Semantics of Natural Language' by Friederike Moltmann
https://10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199608744.001.0001
For fun: 'Waste Tide' by Chen Qiufan (recommended by @Cyborgneticz )
LaTeX
Is there a good/standard #LaTeX handout class?
I found these:
* https://ctan.org/pkg/tufte-latex
* https://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhandout
The second is close to what I want. I wonder about the thick coloured lines for printing.
I suppose that I could just set some things myself.
Perhaps:
1. redefine \maketitle to take up less space and include an institute
2. add informative headers and footers
3. make sections smaller
4. make margins bigger
2–4 seem easy enough. I find things like 1 tricky to get right.
