Gawker Editor Kicks OMG, WTF and Other Terms to the CMS Curb
Poynter’s Andrew Beaujon has the memo from Gawker editor-in-chief Max Read. And may we just say – in the spirit now of #ThrowbackThursday – that said memo is “epic.”
Epic is one of several words no longer welcome in the Gawker Media CMS. From the Beaujon-finagled memo:
We want to sound like regular adult human beings, not BuzzFeed writers or Reddit commenters. Therefore: No “epic.” No “pwn.” No “+1.” No “derp.” No “this”/”this just happened.” No “OMG.” No “WTF.”
