I anticipate I'm going to have many questions about #APstyle, as my university has switched to this style.
When referring to names of college courses (in an email, blog post) do we set them in quotation marks or not? (Ex.: Long Term Care Equity, Dynamics of Leadership)

AP is evaluating whether "AI" can be used on first mention instead of spelling out "artificial intelligence," but no promises on whether it'll happen in time for the 58th edition! 👀

How did @apstylebook.com decide to switch to Merriam-Webster for the 57th ed of #APStylebook?
MW is the only US-based dictionary with a full-time staff, and it's really important to the AP that they have a partner who's engaging on linguistic decisions.

@apstylebook.com is working on a topical guide to writing about immigration.
Some of the updates:
Should asylum-seekers be hyphenated?
Should the "dreamers" entry be renamed? (The term isn't nearly as prominent)
Can we use the terms self-deportation and remigration?

AP Stylebook update:
Persian Gulf:
Some Arab nations call it the Arabian Gulf. If it is necessary to use the name Arabian Gulf, explain in the text that the body of water has long been known as the Persian Gulf.

New AP Style guidance on AI is out and the rules set a clear standard: AI isn’t human, so don’t write about it like it is.
One new rule is to avoid gendered pronouns or names when referring to an AI tool.

Typically I respect conversation @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social but Mr. Richard Haas this is not a normal #Presidency no matter how u spin your #APstyle analysis and Mick Barnicle asked, is America alone? The answers yes...period! The media has to stop spinning & condemn this administration.
Dear @apstylebook.com -- are these binoculars, or a pair of binoculars? #APstyle
Oh, here's #APStyle for the middle and last word as the significant word that you add the "s" to for making a compound word plural. #Editors ponder words at a deep level to enhance clarity and improve conciseness. #ACES2025 #Editing #AmEditing #SciComm
How to make a compound word plural #APStyle. Looks from examples that you pluralize the first word. But I think that shit-show would be shit-shows, right? And why is this the first thought that popped into my head? #ACES2025 #WatchingTooMuchNews #CurrentEvents #StandUpForScience #FiredFeds #SciComm
It's a screenshot with two posts, one from the AP Stylebook, which says, 'We announced one of our most-discussed style changes of all time at the ACES conference about a decade ago: Both "more than" and "over" are acceptable in all uses to indicate greater numerical value. Salaries went up more than $20 a week. Salaries went up over $20 a week.' and the response from Kay Cook (OP) that says, 'WHAT?! I've been dying on this hill for YEARS and you ABANDONED me?! I guess I missed the last copter out of Saigon, Christ. Thanks for letting me know, AP Stylebook,' and OP has tagged the AP Stylebook account, for lulz.
This is why you never meet your heroes...

Hello? #congress? Happy to help you write it but I do not promise to the rules of order. I will definitely use #APStyle, though.
"Upfront" was one word in AP Style, based on the first listing for the adjective and adverb in Webster's New World Dictionary. But AP Stylebook switched to @merriamwebster.bsky.social , which hyphenates the adjective (an up-front payment) and leaves open the adverb (we paid up front). #APStyle

Satan asked Jesus 2 prove his divinity by changing stones 2 bread. Jesus responded: “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Yes, but WHERE was it written? He didn’t say. Is that #plagiarism? 🤔
