The New Yorker House Style Joins the Internet Age

From the March 10, 2025, edition of The New Yorker newsletter: Andrew Boynton on updating our style guide. Plus: Greg Abbott’s border war; the two young pianists testing their limits; and can Ukraine fight without the U.S.?

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! 😄

Don't Use 'TERF,' AP Stylebook Advises

"Trans-exclusionary radical feminist" and "TERF" are "vague and politicized," says the widely used style guide.

Advocate.com

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
