AP Stylebook: "More than" and "over" now mean the same thing

The long-gone and not-at-all-lamented DyePack is trolling people on Twitter over this issue. Fucking lame asshole.

 

Over one sports writer strongly disagrees with the AP based on this thread.

 

Lol, good catch.

 

I saw this thread and thought there would be slightly deeper discussion on this than how many asinine ways you can insert "more than" for "over."

 

As opposed to the number of different ways we could all say AP's decision sucks?

The fact that the discussion turned ridiculous in this way is actually a pretty good indicator of how we all feel about it.

 

I guess. My fault for expecting too much.

 

You're over welcome to discuss that angle of this change too. Don't morethananalyze it though.

 

Here's an idea - lead the discussion in the direction you would like it to go.

 

OK, dude. You've made your point. I won't disagree with the kids again.

 

Would you like to discuss it seriously? OK.

I think it's a stupid change. Do you?

 

The point was not that I had anything productive to say on the matter either, Inky.

The point was that I give this board enough credence to think that the subject wouldn't disintegrate into that.

But I think you and Double J know that's what I was saying. I just had to be spanked for being snarky. Accomplished.
