Styleguide ps 'n qs

"Travelling" or "traveling"? One space after a period, or two? (Huge fight raging through the pages of slate.com over this.) Oxford comma, anyone? (I'm a firm supporter, myself.) We're launched on our styleguide, and we are having fun. Completion date: Winter Issue.

We know 'em as pitchy-paws, ma'am

Here's a site for all hands interested in NL's special words and phrases, and of course it's proving a treasure trove for our Fall issue.

Good day...

It's all about issue #441 here at NQ HQ; the span between our Summer and Fall magazines is actually our shortest production timeline of the year. September 6th is the publication day, and our feature writers, reviewers, columnists, and visual artists are busy as whatsits gathering their material. Even so, from time to time we've lifted our heads and noticed it seems to be, what's the word, sunny? Yes, that was it, sunny, sun, sunshine, an element completely deleted from the Newfoundland skies throughout June. (Labrador was largely spared.) Now it's finally shining on beloved pine clad hills. Enjoy.
