Memorial Day weekend is nearly upon us, which means it’s the unofficial start of summer. To keep you from flip-flopping on your writing choices over the next few months, we’re doing something a little different this week and giving you a quick checklist of seasonal writing tips:
😎 Don’t capitalize summer
☀️ Sunscreen is one word, and you don’t need periods in SPF
🩴 Use a hyphen in flip-flops
🍗 It’s barbecue, not “barbeque”
🥵 Use two words for heat wave, and use a numeral when writing temperatures: “The high was expected to reach 105 degrees”
🧊 And you still need the “d” in iced tea and iced coffee
