I'm enjoying myself reading the Fake AP style book postings on Twitter.

Some of my favourite tweets are :

If you're short on space, "fake" may be used in place of "psychic" or "homeopathic."

Precede basic statements of fact with 'allegedly' to avoid accusations of bias: 'the allegedly wet water,' 'the allegedly poisonous poison'

"Fuckhead" should only be capitalized at the start of sentence. When referring to a talk radio host it is hyphenated.

.@laurenist Neither. "Frenchie President Frencheau Frenchpants La Rue" is the standard usage.

Always capitalize 'Bible.' You don't want to get letters from those people.

"The correct title for an unmarried woman is "Ms." "Miss Jackson" should only be used if you are nasty."

"Arglebargle" should only be used in the non-hyphenated form. "Argle-Bargle," of course, refers to the infamous imperialist bloodline.

LOL
