Once again, the AP is accepting suggestions for revision to their stylebook. You can submit suggestions at: http://www.apstylebook.com/?do=suggestions The AP is responsible for most of the metric errors in journalism. Since the stylebook is wrong it requires journalists to make the errors, or have their articles rejected. The elusive hope is that if the stylebook could be corrected, the incident of metric errors by journalists would drop dramatically. Although I am no doubt beating a dead horse, I have again submitted my three page paper on metric errors in the AP Stylebook. I originally submitted it last year to the three editors by mail, and then via the suggestion form for the 2012 edition. I am 0/7 on the suggestions being accepted. (I've attached a pdf copy of last year's paper.)
