Recently recalled, for some reason, an essay Frank McCourt wrote for the @NewYorker some years' ago. Lemon meringue pie and ginger ale played a central role and now I've been wanting to try that combination.

On @NPR news programming you'll hear Marijuana exclusively referred to as "Marijuana" or "Pot." But I've always thought if they're going to use a slang term (Pot) why not use other slang terms ("Ganja," "The Evil Weed," etc.). Why privilege "Pot" ? https://t.co/l5Gnn7QkMM

Marijuana is the dried flower of the cannabis plant. “Cannabis” is the usual term outside North America; it and “pot” are also acceptable. Slang terms such as weed, reefer and ganja are acceptable in limited, colloquial cases or in quotations. (1/9) #APStyleChat
