Here’s my story in the AP style changes announced at #ACES2026 aceseditors.org/news/2026/ap...

For all you sports writers, new AP style guidance on names of sporting events and stadiums: announced at #ACES2026

Listening to @petersokolowski.bsky.social talking about the making of the new Marian-Webster print dictionary. Discussing things like the word ain’t and irregardless. #ACES2026

I feel like I have your level of interests and things going on, @katiebeaconpoint.bsky.social, but not your level of organization. #ACESchat!

Hi! @gerrrib.bsky.social here getting ready for #ACESchat today!

I’m interested in this topic because I’ve never had to market myself, but as I take on freelance projects, I can see that marketing is important. #ACESchat

Lisa McLendon gave this as an example when talking about fused particles. I’d look at that sentence and say to myself “I’m not sure if it’s wrong or not. So why not rewrite it” to: “The meeting attendees were distracted when the kittens meowed.” When in doubt , punt. #ACES2025 Sweat This, Not That

You’re working with grammar. You wonder what you should sweat. Or what you shouldn’t sweat. Lisa Mckendon has the answer for you at the #ACES2025 conference.

Listening to @petersokolowski.bsky.social talk about the first dictionary (even at 8 a.m.) is a true pleasure. #ACES2025

Last two #ACES2025 Spelling Bee spellers standing!

Psalmody just took out a speller and we’re down to three! #ACES2025 spelling bee.

Half the #ACES2025 Spelling Bee fun is hearingthe definitions given by @petersokolowski.bsky.social

Starting the fourth round of the #ACES2025 Spelling Bee, here’s where we stand. (Compare to practice round photo.)

OK I’m ready for a big plate of pasta! #ACES2025 spelling bee.

The very first speller goes out on the first word “croquembouche.” Any fan of the Great British Baking Show knows what it is. Doesn’t mean they know how to spell it. #ACES2025

As expected, Peter Sokolowski if Merriam-Webster is being serious about this fund raising spelling bee. This raises money for ACES Education Fund scholarships. #ACES2025.

Practice round. Here I’ve known all the words. It won’t stay that way! #ACES2025 Spelling Bee

I’m at the #ACES2025 spelling bee. I’ll try to keep those not here updated!

Kristen Clark is talking about government writing but this advice about noun clusters is good advice for everyone. (For my students, I might also call theses adjective stacks.) #ACES2025

Great things you learn about at a conference of editors and word nerds. I’m reporting from #ACES2025

Thanks for teaching us about comics proofreading today! @madeleinevasaly.com #ACESchat

Hi, #ACESchat. Glad to see you on a new platform!

Like fantasy? Consider reading my nephew’s first novel, “The Witches of Galdanon.” Also my first fiction edit (I was a 2nd editor.) It’s a medieval-style fantasy of adventure, personal growth & magic. Great summer read. Barnes & Noble: lnkd.in/gSHeWm2G Amazon: a.co/d/akYTTX3 Other: lnkd.in/gPP4XgnV

AP’s new advice on using quotations in the news follows what I’ve been teaching my editing students for years. #ACES2024

I read that Campbell's is buying Rao's. I usually buy a can of San Marzano tomatoes and make my own sauce, but I suspect that for some people, this may seem like bad news.
