@DonSqueak @daringfireball @gruber Hmm…

“An affected AirPod Pro”
“An affected AirPods Pro bud”
“An affected pod”

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

@GlennF @charlietuna @gruber I think the clincher is @gruber’s point about “Option” and “Command” keys.

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

@GlennF @charlietuna @gruber That makes sense. 👍

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

@charlietuna @GlennF @gruber “Escape key” also works.
I’m just saying “Esc (Escape) key” is unnecessary.

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

@gruber @charlietuna “Esc key”.

Apple’s style guide is intended for writing user manuals and the like, which have a far lower nerd ratio than the DF readership. DF readers do not need “Esc (Escape) key” spelled out for them.

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

Cannot un-see.

@gruber Regarding https://t.co/m0dYNfCWna
The window can now be resized, too. Not sure if that was fixed in 10.14.4 or more recently.

[John Gruber @gruber]

First 10 seconds of today’s Google, event, they put up these two title cards. One has a proper apostrophe, one doesn’t. First 10 seconds.

[DF Styleguide @DFstyleguide]

I propose “DF reader”.

Apple is using a small-caps “R” in “iPhone XR”. So, wait, the “S” in “5s”, “6s”, and “Xs” is really a small-caps “S”?
@gruber, emergency style meeting!
