Remember to perform an examination of your subject’s genitals before deciding on a pronoun. Do not rely on his or her stated preference.

Putting in title graphics for a story about a man whose last name is "Midget" is a tricky, tricky business.
Use of “illegal immigrant” is deprecated. Prefer traditional “wretched refuse of your teeming shore” for doc/undoc immigrants alike.
WFNJ style for today’s observance: Apryl Fools’ Day (note apostrophe)
Carefully review wire stories and change all occurrences of “whoopie pies” to “gobs” for clarity.
We change our clocks to DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (no S) this weekend. We have been on DAYLIGHT SQUANDERING TIME during winter.
Omit the serial comma when a list ends with “’n’at.” #yinzwriteright
“Drone” means “a boring sound.” Use “flying death robot,” esp. during Sweeps.
“Alleged(ly)” is not required when reporting the crimes of those killed by extrajudicial drone attacks. Smoldering craters can’t sue us.
Use "taps" when ambiguity between "selects" and "has sex with" is desired. Ex: Clinton taps Lewinsky for undersecretary position.
