The Latest in IT Security

Somewhere in between publishing all those crazily addictive and horribly inaccurate quizzes (we are SO not the cheers beers emoji), BuzzFeed published a style guide. The style guide clarifies important spelling-related quandaries, like “baby daddy, baby mama (two words),” and “chocolaty (not ‘chocolatey’)” (we’re not sure if we agree with that one).  It also outlines the acceptable terminology for covering various specific, relevant topics, like LGBT issues, music and recipes. Besides the fact that it publishes articles like “31 Grilled Cheeses That Are Better Than A Boyfriend” and “10 Pictures That Prove Bruno Mars Is Actually Powerline From ‘A Goofy Moovie’,” people have also frequently questioned the originality of the site’s material, and accused it of stealing other people’s photographs. For these reasons and more, some people might not think BuzzFeed deserves to determine the “prevailing, and evolving, set of standards for the internet and social media.” But on the other hand, this style guide is useful.
