Re: Stylebook committee

stylebook.<

Hmmmm? I thought Gannett had it's own stylebook, based on the AP's but with some modifications.

"chili," the name of a soup, as per AP,<


AP stylebook aside, I sure wouldn't want to be the one to try and determine which of the half dozen or more spellings of chili (the plant) is correct. Is it chili, chile, chille, chilli, chillie, or what?

Besides which, Chile is a country in South America. :-)
