Here is the Star Tribune's longstanding policy on use of the term "Nordeast":
[Nordeast] Do not use this term for northeast Minneapolis except in a direct quote. Many Northeasters look on the word as an ethnic putdown. Use lower case for northeast Minneapolis, to avoid giving the impression that it is a suburb, but cap it in a sentence such as ``I was happy growing up in Northeast,'' Dziedzic said. I note that occasional uses that violate this policy do slip through. Readers should feel to complain to Lou Gelfand at 673-4450 Steve Brandt Star Tribune _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
