scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Your question doesn’t make sense, it just seems like you were flailing to try to find a way to be correct about something. You’re welcome to buy a stylebook yourself; the UK/US spelling thing was your thing in this thread, not mine. I just accurately corrected you on quotations in headlines. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Do I? I’m not crashing out over being wrong about quotation usage in headlines. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026"Might?" I don't recall any instances of the U.S. using violence to force our spelling standards on other countries (despite our long, terrible history of violence and colonialism), but I'm happy to be educated further. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026What's a tall order? The spelling is already defined. There's countless more substantive things to criticize about the U.S. than spelling differences, especially when they're not distracting from the international alignment on how quotation marks are used in English-language headlines. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026In the U.S., where both Politico and Bluesky are based, it's "organizations." www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/o...merriam-webster.comDefinition of ORGANIZATIONthe act or process of organizing or of being organized; the condition or manner of being organized; association, society… See the full definition 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Professional editor of what? I'm not sure why you're resorting to insults. I accurately answered your question about their use of single quotations in the headline, and then accurately pointed out that style is also used internationally. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026That's true, but nothing I've posted about quotations and headlines would be outside of common knowledge for a professional journalist. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026In body text and paragraphs? The broader quote is contained in double quotations, and the quote within the broader quote is contained in single quotations. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Perhaps to the uninitiated it's interesting, but as I said (and as demonstrated by the examples I've posted), single quotations are the style when a word or phrase is quoted in a headline. Double quotations are used in body text/paragraphs. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026And just like "disheartened," it's in quotations because it's literally quoted. The explanation is actually built into the name of the punctuation. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026And my point remains accurate, that they're using quotations properly to denote that the word is quoted. According to a style that's used internationally. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...sbs.com.au'A dangerous precedent': Iran wants to impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. Can it?Charging ongoing fees for transit through the Strait of Hormuz would likely trigger international uproar. 000
scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 13/04/2026It's not specific to the U.S., e.g. it's the same style the BBC uses. Hope this helps clear up some misconceptions. www.bbc.com/news/article...bbc.comPope says he has 'no fear' of Trump after scathing criticismThe US president accuses Leo of being "weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy". 000

scotcetera @scotcetera.bsky.social · 12/04/2026They didn’t say “disagrees with a progressive.” Probably a lot of this comes from “both sides same” narratives that purport to be “centrist” are actually just trying to sanewash and boost republicans by saying the left is just as bad. 010
