Two Nashville restaurants on the NYT's 50 favorites list: Audrey and Locust. After being named F&W's best new restaurant last week, RIP to getting a reservation at Locust anytime soon. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

We now write antisemitism (n.), antisemitic (adj.), without a hyphen and with no capitalization. This is a change from AP's previous style: anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic. #ACES2021Online

Spell out Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The acronym AAPI is widely used by people within these communities but is not as well known outside of them. Use AAPI only in direct quotations and explain the term. #ACES2021Online

The + symbol is acceptable in AP style when it is pronounced as part of a company, brand or event name: Disney+, Apple TV+, ESPN+. Use the word plus in other uses: They expect 200-plus people. He is my plus-one. Flowers plus blue skies make for a nice day.

Washington should be used in most story references to the U.S. capital because of the name recognition globally. Use Washington, D.C., with the added abbreviation only if the city might be confused with the state. Do not use D.C. standing alone other than in quotations.

Since I just turned in my first fresh post, I guess I should say, hey, I'm back at @NashvilleScene. My focus, as always, is angry rants and history.

Avoid using the phrase "committed suicide." Alternate phrases include "killed himself," "took her own life" or "died by suicide." The verb "commit" with suicide can imply a criminal act. Laws against suicide have been repealed in the United States and many other places.
