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.
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
@styleguide @heyimbenton 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).
Thank you to our readers (especially @heyimbenton) for writing, tweeting, and trolling us. You’re all a bunch of grammar nerds and we love you for that. That’s all.
Our last issue of Quibbles & Bits focuses on the “past exonerative tense,” a style of language that absolves anyone of blame. https://t.co/wOmz0PM9g6
