The Genius of the Fake AP Stylebook
If you’ve ever been tortured by the APA, MLA, AP, or Chicago Manual of Style guidebooks, you’re probably already gleefully enjoying the comedy of Twitter’s Fake AP Stylebook, which offers memorable nuggets of writing advice, such as:
- “Stupider” and “Stupidest” are not words, but can be used when describing Internet message board comments.
- When referring to someone with a Ph.D. as “doctor” immediately follow it with “but, you know, not a REAL doctor.”
- All terms referring to Batman should be capitalized: Dark Knight, Caped Crusader, Our Lord and Savior, etc.
Oh, and I recently visited this castle, too. Wikipedia explains this interesting bit:
An optical trick known as forced perspective makes the Castle appear even larger than it actually is. As it becomes taller, its proportions get smaller. For example, using this method, the top spire of the Castle is actually close to half of the size it “appears.” Major elements of the Castle were scaled and angled to give the illusion of distance and height, a method frequently used in Disney theme parks around the world.

And a good way to get around those doggone OpenDNS redirects for misspelled domain names.
