Take this AP style quiz. Let me know what you got. I managed a 10 out of 10 – and I’m no editor 
So you think you could be an editor?
About Vivian J. Paige
A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!Discussion

8…..I’d still never use “unfollow” in a story, even if it is in the book.
And I guess we deviate from AP style a bit here, because we’d abreviate Texas.
Also, about one of those I got correct, the AP only recently changed. I still think “email” looks dumb without the hyphen.
Posted by Steve Vaughan | Thursday, August 4, 2011, 3:35 pmI hesitated a bit on the email one – because while I’m used to seeing it without the hyphen, I wasn’t sure if it was right, at least according to AP.
