Image Description: Conscious Communication and the Power of Language

Full description of the featured image for the post “Conscious Communication and the Power of Language”:

Three speech bubbles each contain a quote that represents a different perspective. The first bubble is labeled “disregard” and says, “Don’t tell me what I can and can’t say. You’re restricting my free speech!” The second bubble is labeled “correctness” and says, “I want to be ‘PC’ and avoid offense. Just tell me the right words to use.” The third bubble is labeled “care” and says, “I care about the impact of my words on others. I want to use words as a tool for good.”

At the bottom of the graphic, the paper the words appear on emerges from a typewriter. Above the typewriter ribbon is the black text www. copyeditor. com with the red word “radical” inserted so that, edited, it reads www. radicalcopyeditor. com.
