@APStylebook Thank you AP Stylebook. I'm finishing a story at almost 3 a.m. and this tweet saved me. I wish married couples didn't share last names to make it easier for the reporter if they ever make the news. 😭
ICYMI: @APStylebook is switching its primary dictionary to @MerriamWebster soon. Edibuddies who use AP, are you ready for the change?
We are making our first change in our primary dictionary in decades, turning to @MerriamWebster as our first source. We announced our new partnership today at the @ACESEditors conference. We will officially make the transition when we publish our new print edition May 29.
Checklist for new media relations pros: ✅visit newsrooms ✅connect personally with journalists ✅learn your org’s tone/voice ✅buy an @APStylebook What else? What’s your advice to those jumping into #mediarelations?
This is Smokey Joe, my large adult son. He came with the name.
It's Smokey or Smokey Bear, with an -ey at the end. Also note, it's not Smokey the Bear. But for a smoky room or smoky fire, for example, the word just ends in -y.
@APStylebook What if a Bandit is involved?
Only you can prevent style errors.
It's Smokey or Smokey Bear, with an -ey at the end. Also note, it's not Smokey the Bear. But for a smoky room or smoky fire, for example, the word just ends in -y.

Oh my gosh I have to officially use @APStylebook again.
@APStylebook Newsroom circa 2001: "How do you .." "Look it up!" I developed some solid habits because of Mark yelling that at me the first few months. I think I memorized a lot of it. This and Strunk and White are the go to.
@DerrecBecker @AdamThePIO I agree. Is he pointing to the @APStylebook ?
"It is tempting to advise writers to avoid cliches like the plague; they are the bane of our existence." Thanks for the laugh, @APStylebook! #wordplay #amwriting #amediting #apstyle
Is it weird how much I enjoy these tweets? Ha.
Our guide to self-editing suggests: Watch for sentences with more than one comma or clause. Especially watch for those with more than two commas or clauses. Consider breaking them into two or more sentences. That helps readability. You can find more tips on Stylebook Online.
@EugeneSonn @APStylebook @PatchTweet Y'all are killing me with reasons to keep this ancient book. 2024 was supposed to be the year of going against my (slightly) hoarder tendencies. I thought tossing (recycling!) the AP stylebook would be an easy thing to do.
@andycompton_ LMAOOOOO. my version is I was tenuously in the cool kid group for a little under a year, and then moved to Chicago in 8th grade and went back to being the happy little theater nerd I was meant to be
so many hurt & angry ppl in replies- my 7th grade decision sucked. also 12 year olds deserve a little grace, everyone makes mistakes & deserves grace. we fuck up, that’s how we learn. making a bad choice doesn’t mean I was “evil” & kids who hurt me back then weren’t evil either
every six months I do an internet deep dive on this girl that was my junior high bff, who I dumped when the cool girls suddenly decided I was funny and adopted me. I’ve never stopped regretting it & wanting to apologize but I can NEVER find her…..
