New Yorker evolves #stylebook: Along with a few other changes, “in-box” is now “inbox,” “Web site” is now “website,” “Internet” is now “internet,” and “cell phone” is now “cellphone." https://buff.ly/HWMoWT9

Orange is punishing a US-based international news organization because they're continuing to use "Gulf of Mexico" to provide clarity for worldwide audiences. Petty, yes. Stupid too. But I'm still giddy to see the AP Stylebook -- or any #stylebook -- mentioned in news coverage! A big day for #LanguageGuidance, #BrandGuides, and #HouseStyles everywhere! 😄

The #AP #Stylebook Just Majorly Shit the Bed

An updated #style #tip from the #APStylebook #Twitter #account. encourages #writers to avoid the term “#TERF” or #transexclusionaryradicalfeminist,” calling the #acronym both “#vague” and “#politicized.”

Let’s not forget that #TERF #ideology is, first and foremost, a #threat to #trans #existence. It is not #harmless, nor is it #apolitical.

Most satisfying thing about Mastadon is that the day after I arrived they added an "edit" button on that three-dot menu under my posts. I don't write as much as I edit myself. #editor #copyeditor #subeditor #stylebook #typos

#introduction Interested in #music #movies #tvshows #reading I live on the South Coast near #Brighton but am from #Guernsey #ChannelIslands and I have lived in #Portugal #France and #Spain before. I’m good at #computers and am always updating old computers so they still are useable. Apps I use most, apart from social media are #MyMoviesDK and #StyleBook - big lover of cool boots…
