<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The official style guide used by the writers and editors of the world's most authoritative news organization."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The premier source for journalists, now revised and updated for 2015.</b> <p/> Does the White House tweet?<br> Or does the White House post on Twitter?<br> Can text be a verb and also a noun?<br> When should you link? <br> For anyone who writes--short stories or business plans, book reports or news articles--knotty choices of spelling, grammar, punctuation and meaning lurk in every line: <i>Lay</i> or <i>lie</i>? <i>Who</i> or <i>whom</i>? <i>That</i> or <i>which</i>? Is <i>Band-Aid</i> still a trademark? It's enough to send you in search of a <i>Martini</i>. (Or is that a <i>martini</i>?) Now everyone can find answers to these and thousands of other questions in the handy alphabetical guide used by the writers and editors of the world's most authoritative news organization. <p/> The guidelines to hyphenation, punctuation, capitalization and spelling are crisp and compact, created for instant reference in the rush of daily deadlines. The 2015 edition is a revised and condensed version of the classic guide, updated with solutions to problems that plague writers in the Internet age: <br> - How to cite links and blogs<br> - How to handle tweets, hashtags and other social-media content<br> - How to use current terms like "transgender," or to choose thoughtfully between same-sex marriage and gay marriage <p/> With wry wit, the authors have created an essential and entertaining reference tool. <b> </b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>ALLAN M. SIEGAL</b> and <b>WILLIAM G. CONNOLLY </b>both joined The Times in the 1960s and served for decades in a variety of top editing roles. Since their retirement, a team of current Times editors has overhauled the style guide for today's readers and writers.<br></p>
