Just in time to check how we style “Pumpkin Spice Latte”!
— a bold decision by then–copy chief Emmy Favilla, since few organizations choose to make their internal guides public-facing — it grew to become a massive document that included an extensive list of terms followed by dozens of different topical sections.
Our revamp also means the style guide is more compact and easier to scroll through. We realized most people navigate the style guide using the Find command to search for specific words or topics, so we now include alternate spellings — even if you type “health care,” you’ll land on our “In addition, we include terms that we advise, when referring to people who do not have disabilities.”
When we finally decided to strike this exception, you could almost hear our collective sigh of relief. Fun fact: We scrapped this once before in 2015 but reinstated it after a perplexing but vocal outcry from people in the newsroom. Let’s hope this time it sticks — but I’m steeling myself for another protest once more people see it included in our recent updates list at the top of the style guide!
