Thank you, @MeCookieMonster , for your guidance through these troubled and troubling times.

[Cookie Monster @MeCookieMonster]

Da best thing you can cook is cookies. Dat's why they spell it dat way.

[RobMaurin @RobMaurin]

Attention all bakers and cooks on TV shows: It's pronounced

mass-car-PONE-eh

not
MARS-cap-OWN

You're on TV FFS.

If you're popping bubbly to celebrate the new year, it's Champagne if it's a sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France.
If it's made elsewhere, call it sparkling wine.
And if you do that too many times, hangover is one word, no hyphen.

@adamfelber @waitwait @petersagal @JIsbackintown @MoRocca Thanks!
And since you opened the door a crack I will barge through it with more video cheer https://t.co/YezB97iJfI
Merry Christmas!

[RobMaurin @RobMaurin]

@waitwait it's that time of year when I think of Carl Kassel and our good fortune getting him (and @petersagal , @JIsbackintown , @MoRocca and @adamfelber ) in our Christmas video. https://t.co/8RuExaJvA3

Ho ho ho to you all...

@aprildunford I'm with you. As is the Guardian (and most other non-pedantic style guides):

[RobMaurin @RobMaurin]

Found in a job description:

"maintain optimum cost-benefit relationships"

Ugh. Business-speak is so gross.

How many better ways are there to say this?

"provide value"
"do the most with the least"
"manage budgets effectively"
"get the best bang for your buck"

What else?

[RobMaurin @RobMaurin]

Word nerd to the core. I must retweet.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

Capitalize the first word after a colon only if it is a proper noun or the start of a complete sentence. He promised this: The company will make good all the losses. There were three considerations: expense, time and feasibility.

@stefanpalios Hang in there.
Take a deep breath.
Go for ice cream.
Repeat.

@idislikestephen this explanation must exist somewhere but I can’t find it: what’s the difference between roséwave and yacht rock?

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day (on repeat) is 'hurkle-durkling': 19th-century Scots for lying in bed/lounging about long after it's time to get moving.

@KenHunt Ah, it’s finally arrived — the fruit of my labour as an unpaid intern in 1994. My fact checking legacy lives on in this award.

@MisekPeter Is it too much to ask for a video of you and @ajkgopal doing this dance?
