Die auf #Wikipedia abgebildete Flagge der #Vatikanstadt war im Laufe der Jahre mehrfach falsch, zuletzt von 2017 bis 2022. Dies führte auch dazu, dass viele Flaggenhersteller Wikipedia als Quelle nutzten und somit viele falsche Flaggen im Umlauf sind.

I wish newspapers had similar CW's to here. The guardian keeps showing the photo of a sexual predator looking right into camera and I just don't want to see it! I don't often have eye contact sensitivities with photos, but in those contexts absolutely I do. There's two on today's #guardian online main page, and it's just totally unnecessary. #StyleGuide

Question for #disabled or those thinking about how to do #socialmedia for #disabled #vision #impaired

I get #camelcase in #hashtags
eg #hardtoread should be #HardToRead

but what is the #style #guide #styleguide for say
#NYTimesLetterBox

do I spell out NY
can I write "NYTLetterBox' ?
what is the best protocol here ?

@hkrn That first article has 'Using the wrong words can muddy the waters'. Later on, it says 'Metaphors should always be avoided'.

Which does rather underline how difficult it can be to lay down prescriptive rules for good writing.

I am bemused by this small selection of books. Orwell? Better to read Strunk & White.
No Fowler or OED? What about CMOS 17? There are many other style and writing guides that deserve to be here. #english #writing #styleguide
