our copy desk would not let us call something “unhinged” or say “girl boss” and they were always right!!!!!!!!
The last edition of the @styleguide newsletter is absolutely worth a read
Our last issue of Quibbles & Bits focuses on the “past exonerative tense,” a style of language that absolves anyone of blame. buzzfeednews.com/article/emerso…
Just so proud of every single person on this ferocious little team, we punched so far above our weight and became a really invaluable resource for so many writers and editors. I am so lucky that I got to start my career here, and with @BuzzFeedNews. @styleguide FOREVER and EVER.
When we compiled this issue, we did not know it would be our last. Our style guide went live on Feb. 4, 2014, launched by BuzzFeed’s first copy chief, @em_dash3. Her then–deputy copy chief, @meganpaolone, created Quibbles & Bits and sent the first issue in 2016.
We need more of this in media and it’s a shame it’s going away. I feel like I’m pretty online and I didn’t even know about this until now. Probably more on me than the system, but the system is also not great.

I am so proud of what this team has accomplished — and how they grew not only the BuzzFeed copydesk but also this newsletter and this account into something equal parts sharp, hilarious, innovative, and immeasurably valuable for writers and journalists across the internet. 😭😭😭

Style guides hold and wield so much power & the folks on this team )in the past & currently) have pushed the entire journalism industry forward in ways they deserve big recognition for. 🫡style guide 5ever

I'm so gutted to hear that this is the final issue of the Quibbles & Bits newsletter! 😿 This was one of my favorite resources for learning about inclusive language and its loss will create a gaping hole in my inbox (and my heart).
The shuttering of BuzzFeed News means the end of one of the best style newsletters around — progressive and thoughtful and helpful.

Lots of feelings this week about the loss of @BuzzFeedNews, but this piece from the style guide is a really good read for local gov communicators. Ambiguous grammar can be insidious.
