"If you don't know how to spell, people aren't going to buy your crap. If that's not important, I don't know what is. @tschmedding #ACES2014
Tweeting just head is like paper carrier -- only delivering news. We should do more: @stevebuttry #ACES2014
“If you can’t spell, people aren’t going to buy your crap.” @tschmedding puts it truly and bluntly. #ACES2014- As usual, the buzz started with the announcements by the AP Stylebook editors.
The @APStylebook announces that "over" (meaning "more than") will be acceptable in the new edition. The room at #ACES2014 actually gasps.
Re @APStylebook acceptance of "over" for "more than": If only copy eds know the difference, it's time to let it go. #ACES2014
<gasp!> MT @APStylebook New to the AP Stylebook: over, as well as more than, is acceptable to indicate greater numerical value. #ACES2014
Lots of Twitter chatter about @APStylebook new guidance on over vs. more than, but not much about its recognition of "selfie." #ACES2014
If the headline 'OVER' REACTION hasn't been taken yet, I call dibs. #ACES2014 @APStylebook- You don't HAVE to use "over" instead of "more than," you just can if you want and still comply with @APStylebook. #ACES2014
- Buried lede from @APStylebook at #ACES2014 might be that AP could transmit accent marks and other special characters now if it chose to.
- But there were other sessions and happenings:
There is nothing I like better than a room full of editors talking about the styling of the word "douchebag." <3 <3 #ACES2014
