Hey @alanawise.bsky.social there is no period after the S in Harry S Truman because he had no actual middle name, therefore the S stands for nothing. It is simply a letter.

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.

In retrospect, Anna Jo Bratton is proud of #APStylebook decisions on "Mount McKinley" and "Gulf of Mexico." #ACESVCon25

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.

Thinking of all the style quizzes over the years with a “completely destroyed” question and looking forward to an #APStylebook entry for “destroyed and/or OBLITERATED.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Fellow writers, I don't know why I haven't thought to look before, but did you know you can get the AP Stylebook on Amazon???
I've always ordered it directly from the AP. But -- LOOK -- at this online price? Today it's showing $16.32 US for me.

As a long time journalist, news executive and educator, I stand with the #AssociatedPress & their #APStylebook; like a dictionary it evolves with the language and contemporary, real-world context. It is perfect? No, neither am I! It is however our industry standard since 1909.

Now that the U.S. government recognizes that big body of water south of Louisiana as the #GulfofMexico, should we expect the #APStylebook to follow? Or is it already a given? #style #gulfofmexico #journalism #pr
