Chromatology: Study of Color

The Genius of the Fake AP Stylebook If you’ve ever been tortured by the APA, MLA, AP, or Chicago Manual of Style guidebooks, you’re probably already gleefully enjoying the comedy of Twitter’s Fake AP Stylebook, which offers memorable nuggets of writing advice, such as: “Stupider” and “Stupidest” are not words, but can be used when describing Internet message board comments. When referring to someone with a Ph.D. as “doctor” immediately follow it with “but, you know, not a REAL doctor.” All terms referring to Batman should be capitalized: Dark Knight, Caped Crusader, Our Lord and Savior, etc.

About Me [+]

Heading into finals weeks which means a load of stress. Luckily I have amazing friends and a great boyfriend to take my mind off it all. This week, school. Next week, cleaning up and packing for my vacation. I'm not sure when I'll be back exactly, but I'll hop on Tumblr as soon as I can.
