  • "twote" is, as the kids these days say, a cursed conjugation or portmanteau (of "tweeted" and "wrote"). I'm not going to change it to "tweeted" because I find it hilarious. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:12, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks @Rotideypoc41352: I did notice this in the 1st round of copyediting, and asked about it at the Newsroom talk page and got no response. Copyediting this column can be a challenge, but I think the overall style works for everybody. We'll continue watching our "T's" and "W's". With the election closing in pretty fast, we've got to make sure not to take any cheap shots against any politicians. No BLP violations allowed. It's not what The Signpost is all about. But providing background, even humorously, is ok and commenting on anything they do on-Wiki is fair game. Smallbones(smalltalk) 18:05, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
