AP Stylebook’s shocking new changes

Effective now, email will no longer be e-mail, but your e-book will retain its hyphen. At least, that’s according to the editors of the AP Stylebook.

In Phoenix, at the National Conference for the American Copy Editor Society, AP Stylebook editors David Minthorn and Darrell Christian, provided some teasers on what to expect in the new AP Stylebook.

Other changes include: hand-held to handheld, cell phone to cellphone,  and smart phone to smartphone.

The new Stylebook won’t be available until May.
