I love good editing humor: The AP Stylebook has a twitter! In it, they offer such useful writing tips as "Use 'student' to refer to college attendees, and 'coed' to refer to really hot students" and "Use 'inflammable' for wimpy stuff like sparklers, 'flammable' for shit that blows up REAL GOOD." I can feel my writing abilities grow just by reading Twitter; if I spend all day reading Twitter, I'll have a Pulitzer in no time! See also: How To Write Badly Well, via.
