Market math, AP style: Pair a numeral with the % sign, with no space: 0.1%, 1%. Use words in casual expressions, such as a zero percent chance. This reflects a change we made in 2019, from spelling out “percent” to using the percent sign. apnews.com/article/a9a26b…

An epidemic is the rapid spreading of disease in a certain population or region. A pandemic is an epidemic that has spread more widely, usually to multiple countries or continents, affecting a large number of people. Endemic as an adjective refers to the constant presence of a disease. For example, malaria is endemic in some tropical regions. Endemic diseases can sometimes become epidemics if the number of cases jump above what's normally expected. Follow declarations of public health officials in terminology. apnews.com/article/32ccde…
One of the fun parts of working on the AP Stylebook team is that when The New York Times runs an article about @MerriamWebster's definition of biweekly and bimonthly, we can message dictionary editor Peter Sokolowski about it. If you want to chat with Peter about all things dictionary, sign up for the AP Stylebook Workshop. Peter is our guest speaker for Week 2, coming up Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT. nytimes.com/2026/10/08/mag…
The search for the next United Nations secretary-general is underway. In body copy, use periods in U.N. Headlines generally omit periods in abbreviations: UN. AP style says underway is one word with no hyphen in all uses. apnews.com/article/49faf5…
Capitalize West Coast when referring to the U.S. region. Lowercase “coast” for the physical shoreline or a smaller area: erosion along the California coast. apnews.com/article/52246a…

This four-part course will cover the big-picture questions of how to improve your writing and editing to make your copy clear and compelling. Our first live session is Wednesday so sign up now: store.stylebooks.com/ap-stylebook-w…
If you haven't finished the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle from Sept. 6, we might be able to give you a hint on the 4 down clue: Newsroom writing standard, in brief. Seven letters, it starts with AP.
If you are writing about Hurricanes Nolo or Polo, or Tropical Storm Hanna, call the storm it, not he or she. AP style uses “it” for nations, ships, storms and voice assistants, except in direct quotations. apnews.com/climate-and-en…

On Sept. 28, 1928, Alexander Fleming made a historic discovery: penicillin. Use the article “a” before consonant sounds: a historic event, a one-year term (sounds as if it begins with a w), a united stand (sounds like you). Use the article “an” before vowel sounds: an energy crisis, an honorable man (the h is silent), an NBA record (sounds like it begins with the letter e. apnews.com/article/733820…
Use the % sign with a numeral in most cases: 61% of voters, a 5.5% tariff. Spell out percentage when no number is given: The percentage of voters citing gas prices has increased. apnews.com/article/d2f5d5…
Crowning occurs when wildfire flames advance from treetop to treetop more or less independent of the fire burning on the ground. Torching is the burning of the foliage of a single tree or a small group of trees, from the bottom up. Spotting is when strong winds carry embers ahead of the main perimeter of the fire and smaller spot fires are ignited. Check AP's Wildfire Tracker to keep up on the status of fires: apnews.com/wildfire-track…
