News is in from an unlikely source for Latent Print. Wired plans to publish an updated stylebook. Read the original post here.
The original Constance Hale edition provides lessons in staying relevant in a growing digital world—valuable for proofreaders and copy editors clutching AP or Chicago.
I turned to Wired Style on assignment when the exec. asst. asked me if I would capitalize C-level, as in senior-level employee, ya know, the chief. With no guidance from Wired, I suggested she reword it. No dice. Too many uses already in the doc.
My survey of this Conde Nast business pub. reveals C-Level in heading case and C-level in doc text; at Forbes, ditto, though they sometimes tie their execs. to the office, C-suite occupants. I thought business happened on the links.
The new Wired Style can't come soon enough.
Anyone know of the first occurance of C-level?
