Tech: Dear AP Stylebook: “Web site” is not “website.” Please no changey

  • Responding to reader input, we are changing Web site to website. This appears on Stylebook Online today and in the 2010 book next month.
  • The official Twitter @APStylebook account • Regarding a minor language change that has us all riled up. We’ve spent the last six years going out of our way to type “Web site” instead of “website,” to the point where we way preferred it that way. Now these jerks want to change it. We’re offended. Even worse, Twitter largely agrees with them. We’re gonna throw something if this style stands. Where’s our AP Stylebook when we need it, and is there a way to make it easier to break something with it? source
