However you spell it, it's still an insult

http://theslot.blogspot.com/

Check out one of the newest posts on Bill Walsh's blogslot, titled "Ho, Ho, Ho!" While the Imus issue is no laughing matter, is it very funny to see how confused papers have been in how to spell the word "hos." Is it "hos" or "ho's"?

Walsh did a search of the top papers listed in Lexis Nexis and listed the papers that prefer "hos," the ones the go with "ho's," and the ones who just can't get it right. Hos, without the apostrophe, is definitely winning out.

And you thought the AP Stylebook had it all figured out...

at alternatives for anotrher platform.I would be awesome if you could point
me in the direction of a good platform.
